He apologises that he has not been able to submit any articles on books which he has read to Y Goleuad; and suggests that copies of the paper be regularly exchanged for Y Beirniad [A/1745]. The writer expresses his sadness at the criticism of Lloyd George in Y Genedl, and EMH's devout respect for English liberalism. He also notes a mistake in a heading from Y Genedl, 'Araeth Mr Asquith', which should be spelt 'araith', and explains the grammatical principle behind this correction [A/1746].

Robert Williams [A/1804]. Welsh.

Nevin. He fears that there is one view in Lleyn and Eifionydd, the Eifl, which is in danger of being spoiled by the effects of the slate industry on the mountain.

Jones's (Master of Caernarvon Castle) diary [A/1885a], containing an account of the occasion when his ship caught fire, for twenty-five days, whilst at sea, which EMH may consider of interest [A/1885]. He recalls his sailing days, and encloses a manuscript of his 'Recollections of my early days. Portmadoc' [A/1886a].
