W. Williams, Aberpergwm, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. Llandrindod would add many years to the addressee's life. Next Saturday week he hopes to see him recovered. The pleasure he has in reading Iolo. Welsh writers have sadly neglected accuracy in chronology - mention of Will Hopkin and D. Nicolas. A person has written to him for a subscription to a Celtic dictionary he is about to publish (Williams of Llangadwaladr) - what he (WW) has written to say. The addressee should now look on his papers as property.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr.
