J[oseph] Edwards, 22 Grafton Street, Fitzroy Square, London, to [Taliesin Williams]. As it is probable that Lady Hall may be induced to sit to him for her bust or prevail on Sir Benjn to sit for his, desiring the addressee to write to her ladyship and say what he can in his behalf.

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath. Sending the addressee's legacy under the will of John Williams and the joint bill of costs to him and his father and sisters for legal services in connection with the same. Endorsed by EW: 'Alfred Estlin, Bill of Costs &c.'.

[Daniel Evans] 'D[aniel]l Ddu', to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil. He cannot but agree with the addressee regarding the Eisteddfodau. When does the addressee suppose he had the announcement that he had been appointed one of the adjudicators of the poetical compositions at the Powys Eisteddfod? - a week before the day of the Eisteddfod. He sent straight away to say that he would have nothing to do with the work. He is much afraid that Walter Davies and Robert Davies would not assume the task of adjudicating the work of the addressee and his fellow-competitors on 'Y Dydd Byrraf ' now after some kind of an opinion has been given once. The writer's own views in the matter. (In a note in English on the back he states that he is very sorry to hear that the addressee's venerable old father is so poorly).

[Daniel Evans], D[aniel]l Ddu, Maesmynach, near Lampeter, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tudfyl. Acknowledging the addressee's letter of Aug. 28. With regard to his kind invitation he feels much obliged to him, but as he is very little in the habit of sojourning he is afraid to make a promise. Congratulating him on being the successful candidate for the prize poem on the Druids. Regretting that according to his views of the 'cynghaneddion' there are in it some few deviations from the right path, but the arrangement and manifestation of the scholar visible in the poem more than make up for the little inadvertencies. He has not seen the Gwladgarwr and consequently can say nothing respecting Arthur. He has no objection to look[ing] over the poem which the addressee alludes to and to mark out such lines as may appear to him incorrect, but he thinks it would be hardly fair to do anything more. 'No time should be lost and it may be hinted to the author to keep a copy lest some accident should happen to the parcel on the way'.

Evan Evans, Tre ?hwbwb, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr. A nephew of his intends to stir for a prize given by the Marquis of Bute. The writer will feel much obliged if some favour is shown to the would-be historian. (In rhyme).

Rd Fenton, Ewenny, to [?Taliesin Williams]. As soon as he is quiet at home he will do himself the pleasure of being more explicit when he writes to the addressee's father.

Lady Charlotte Guest, Dowlais, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tidfil. She is very happy to see that his poem will be published so soon and requests him to put down her name and Mr Guest's as subscribers for six copies each.

Lady Charlotte Guest, Dowlais, to Mr Taliessin Williams, Merthyr Tidvil. Asking him, if he happens to have a copy of the Cambro Briton, to lend it to her for a few days.

J. John Guest, London, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tidvil. Lady Charlotte and he were sorry that they were absent from Merthyr or they would have had much pleasure in attending the Anniversary of the Cymmreigyddion yr Alarch.

J. J. Guest, Dowlais, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tidfil. His readiness to see the addressee and the other gentlemen of the Committee on the subject of the Building Fund for the New Institution at any time on Friday or Saturday. Lady Charlotte and he are very much flattered and obliged by the verses the addressee is so good as to send them upon little Ivor.

A[ugusta] Hall, Llanover, to [Taliesin Williams]. Relating to the publication of the remaining Welsh treasures. It strikes her 'the best way to turn to account these good dispositions in three several parties [the addressee and Mr Williams of Aberpergwm, M. Rio, the Breton, and Mr Parry of Chester] to promote the honour of Wales - would be to unite all our forces'.

Lady Hall, Llanover, to Mr Taliessin Williams (Ab Iolo), Merthyr Tydfil (altered to Aberpergwm). Hoping that he will be able to visit Llanover on Tuesday or Wednesday, preferably Wednesday, and that he will allow the enclosed to defray the expense of the journey. Her brother-in-law, the Chevalier Bunsen, is going to leave the country on Friday 4th, and she very much wishes him to converse with the addressee (about the Welsh language).

Lady Hall, Llanover, to Taliessin Ab Iolo, Merthyr Tydfil. Is quite distressed to hear of the letter having arrived without the sovereign she feels quite positive she enclosed.

Aug[usta] Hall, 'Gwenynen Gwent', Llanover, to [Taliesin Williams]. The enclosed was sent her by Mr Rees of Cascob, who requested her to get some opinions as to its contents, indeed a translation she believes. She did not forget his MSS - there seemed to be a great fear on the part of the Committee of appropriating their slender funds for purchase if they could procure transcripts merely for the expense of copying. Mr Price. Asking him to give her any information he can respecting the copies of the Ll: Ll: Enclosure wanting.

Aug[usta] Hall, 'G. Gwent', Llanover, to Taliesin Ab Iolo, Glebe Land, Merthyr tydfil. Thanking him for his letter, which she forwarded to Mr Price for perusal. Her own private feeling with regard to the addressee's work, the attitude of the Committee, etc.
