An account beginning 'Pedair Cadair wrth Gerdd y sydd ynghymru ...'.

An account (crossed out) beginning 'Pedair Cadair wrth Gerdd y sydd ynghymru ...'. On the reverse side is a note beginning 'Lleu, lle, or llên, is the same as Gawl, gwawl, and goleu ...', followed by 'I have before observed that the Britons became civilized in those ages when the Roman learning was in its highest perfection and greatest purity ...'. There are also some stanzas of verse (D. ddu Eryri and Cynddelw) and at the bottom of the page a note headed '(Preface)' beginning, 'However I may have been mistaken in some, perhaps in many things, I can assure the reader ... that ...'.

Alfred Estlin, Small Street, Bristol, to Mr Edward Williams, Flimston, near Cowbridge,

He has not received any answer to his letter written this day three weeks in which he wished to know whether the addressee's son and daughters would give an authority to Mr Duncan to dispose of the negroes in Jamaica. The writer's brother has been back from France some time and is quite well. The letter was afterwards sent to Mr Taln Williams at the Academy, Neath.

Alfred Estlin, No. 3 Small Street, Bristol, to Mr Edward Williams, Flemingstone, near Cowbridge,

His supposition, when Mr Jarman informed him that it was his intention to commit the addressee's business to his hands, that the addressee would employ him. The first thing will be to get the legacy of £100 left to the addressee by his brother's will. The advisability of recovering the legacies for the addressee's children at the same time. He hopes the addressee has no intention of going to London as Mr Duncan wished in his letter to Mr Jarman. See No. 128, dated 5 Oct. 1814.

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Taliesin Williams, Neath,

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath. Similar to Nos 164-5. In a postscript it is stated that Mrs Duncan told the writer that Mr Edwd Williams has some little property of hers in Wales and that if the legacies were ever paid the value of such property must be deducted out of the legacy: he thinks it right just to mention this although he knows not what she means.

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Taliesin Williams,

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil. He has heard from Mr Evill of Bath, who requests to be informed of Mrs Duncan's address - she is married again - when he (AE) has discovered it. He has also heard from Mr Taynton of Cowbridge (relating to the deed Mr Taynton was instructed to obtain the addressee's execution of). Wishing to know what he is to do with a double letter (directed for the addressee from his father) which is now lying at his office.

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Taliesin Williams,

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil, A conversation he had yesterday with his brother-in-law, Dr Pritchard, who informed him that he was given to understand that the addressee's father's MSS are lying in his house at Flimston in a neglected state. Asking him whether it is his intention to have an examination of these MSS as it is very probable there may be some curious things among them.
