Part of Iolo Morganwg and Taliesin ab Iolo manuscripts and papers
He knows from the addressee's last letter that he is proceeding with the D. ab Gwilym - wishing to know when he will finish the work. The authorship of 'Y bilain o fabolaeth'- if the addressee thinks it is by DG it shall be printed in the Appendix. The arrangement and contents of the work. The addressee's request for the passage about 'cynghanedd' from Giraldus. He (WO) said that Gough was the author of Philistor's letters but that is not so. Asking him not to divulge the secret - Pinkerton is the man. Wishing to know how the Rev. Mr Walters is - can they expect another number of the Dictionary to be out soon? P. S. The addressee will see in the Gent. Magazine that he has answered Philistor under the name 'Owain o Feirion'. Sending 'Bras grynodeb o ragymadrodd at y darllenydd - y 'Ngwaith DG' and 'Byr Hanes am Dd. Gm.' It was after beginning this letter that he thought of sending these, otherwise he would have taken a larger sheet of paper.
