[J. Bowen] 'John ap Rhys ap Owen o Abertawy', 13 Portland Place, Bath, to Mr Edward Williams, BBD, Flimstone, Nr Cowbridge. Thanking him for his letter and its enclosures, which he has distributed amongst his friends with a request that they will encourage a publication which does honour to the county of Glamorgan. Musical instruments he possesses. He wishes he had seen the addressee at Cowbridge. At that time he was making a Tour of Glamorgan, since which he has made another excursion, but that was aquatic. There certainly were some exceptionable points in the addressee's first edition. Endorsed: 'Rev. Mr Bowen of Bath'.
