Edward Williams, Bridgend, to his son Tally (Taliesin Williams, Rev. Mr Davies, Parade, Neath). He is still here, and has hitherto only informed Mr Dare of the addressee's resolution not to settle at Bridgend.

The addressee might have settled here in a home of his own, master of his own concerns, etc.; instead he verifies the old proverb (about London streets being paved with gold) and is determined to enlist into the corps of London Quill-drivers as they are with no unjust contempt termed generally. There are a few good situations to be had in London but very few in comparison to the number of competitors. The long apprenticeship, etc. He has in this letter recapitulated a portion of what he has so anxiously endeavoured to impress on the addressee's mind, but without success. He has now given the last opinion and the last advice that the addressee will ever hear from him. The need to write some apology to Mr Dare.

[Edward Williams], Flimston near Cowbridge, to Mr E. Williams, Bookseller, No. 11 Strand, London. He has made out a catalogue of his Ancient Welsh MSS and of his copies or transcripts of Ancient MSS. He wrote for Owen Jones the short view of the present state of the Welsh MSS prefixed to the first vol. of the Welsh Archaiology, but as many have ascribed it to Wm Owen he has prepared a copy for the press in his own name and also of that part of the Preface to Vol. II which was written by him, i.e. that part which relates to the various copies or MS editions of Caradoc Llancarvan.
