Letters to Michael Jones,

  • NLW MS 16103D.
  • File
  • 1824-1903.

Fourteen letters, 1833-1852, all of which appear to be addressed to Michael Jones, Independent minister and first principal of Bala Independent College. The contents of the letters are mainly of an administrative and denominational nature.
The letters contain references to the apprenticeship of pupils at Bala School (ff. 1, 7, 9), the Independent cause at Corwen (ff. 10, 13), Hen Gapel, Llanuwchllyn (f. 20), and discussions regarding the establishment of a preparatory academy at Abergele (ff. 17-18). Also included is a draft reply in the hand of Michael Jones (f. 18 verso), and various letters and papers, 1824-1903, including a printed elegy to the Reverend Henry Rees, Liverpool, by 'Hiraethog Mon', 1869 (f. 31), and a description of a 'Driving tour of W. N. Rigbey & family through part of North Wales', 1883 (ff. 36-9).
