A collection of manuscripts formerly belonging to William Basil Jones (1822-1897), bishop of St Davids, comprising a fifteenth-century digest of commentaries on the Psalms; transcripts of letters from Griffith Jones, Llanddowror (1683-1761) (etc.); and poetry of the Rev. Samuel Phillips, Radnorshire (etc.).

A manuscript entitled Poems on several occasions: by An imperfect Pen. According to a pencilled note on the title-page, the verses are by the late Reverend Samuel Phillips of Blethvaugh [Bleddfa], Radnorshire and were written between 1771 and 1797. Their subject-matter includes social events and epitaphs, mainly of Radnorshire and Montgomeryshire interest. A copy of a monumental inscription to Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Phillips of Cwmygerwin, and eldest Daughter of James Moore of Newtown, in the county of Montgomery ... is attached to the inside of the cover, presumably referring to the poet's wife. Some of the poetry is addressed to James Moore. Attached to the title-page is a sheet of verses addressed in 1826 by J. P. [?roud] to Miss Moore of Handsworth.

A transcript of a book into which Madam Bridget Bevan (1698-1779) caused letters which she received from Griffith Jones, Llanddowror (1683-1761) to be transcribed. There also exists another contemporary transcript largely in the same hand (NLW, Cwrtmawr MS 545B) and both are in general agreement from the first letter, dated 14 December 1732 (p. 1), to the first paragraph of the letter dated 12 August 1737, where the present transcript breaks off in the middle of a sentence (p. 362). The following three letters in Cwrtmawr MS 545 are omitted here and the transcript resumes with the letter of 16 September 1737, the manuscript from this point on being in the hand of Thomas Evans, curate of Llanddowror. The sequence ends with the letter of 4 March 1738 (pp. 409-410) but Thomas Evans has added an appendix of extracts of Griffith Jones's views on Methodists from letters written to Madam Bevan between 1738 and 1743 (pp. 412, 414-416). A letter, 15 October 1801 [recte 1901], from John Owen (1854-1926), bishop of St Davids, to an unknown recipient is pasted inside the back cover.
