W. to Mr Taliesin Williams. Asking him to try (by letter) to induce Waring to print and distribute more of those papers. 'One shilling societies shd be formed in each Town in the County.' Desiring him to speak to Saunders and other ministers on the subject.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe lands, Merthyr. Their prospects with regard to a subscription for printing Welsh MSS are brightening - a society should be formed without delay and a prospectus published. The addressee should set about making a catalogue of all he has - urging him to begin forthwith for his own satisfaction and to try to get through it by Christmas. Discusses preparing materials for the publication of the 15 poems.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. If May 29 will suit the convenience of the members of the Cymreigyddion Society he will do himself the honour of waiting on them. Is convinced assistance has been given in the notes to the Mabinogion; he has the greatest reliance on what the addressee says as to the dialect being Silurian - his own humble opinion as to those productions. The addressee's treasures seem inexhaustible - he mentions in his letter four poems (specified) which the writer never saw or heard of. Reference to the addressee's promise of his company at Christmas.

W. Williams, Aberpergwm, to Mrs Taliesin Williams, Albert street, Merthyr. Since he last wrote Mr B. Pryce has informed him their visit to Merthyr must be deferred owing to his engagements.

Wm Williams, Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tidvil. Reminding him of his promise to write a Welsh inscription to be put on a silver snuff-box that was presented to the writer on his leaving Wales. He has annexed for TW's perusal an 'englyn' sent him for that purpose by one of his old friends - it was composed, he believes, by Mr Williams of the Swan. He has also annexed an inscription which is merely to convey an idea of what he wishes to say.

Wm Williams, Cowbridge Free School, to Ab Iolo, Merthyr Tydvil. The name 'Caerex' (a field). There is still a stone of some note within the turnpike-gate of the East which the writer remembers used to be annually whitewashed by the neighbours and to which the Corporation in their perambulation always used to walk, but he does not know whether it is a part of the cromlech to which the addressee alludes. There is no vestige to the best of his knowledge of the 'Twr y Bontfaen'.

The addressee insulted him very much last night and he does not consider it as a common insult. On the back are some notes by EW and two verses of a hymn, etc.

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to Mr Jenkins, Cambrian Office, Swansea. 'The Birth-day song of the Cardiff Gazette which was intended to be published Jan. 2d 1813.' (Verses by EW).

Taliesin Williams to Miss Petherick, at Mr Budge's, Camborne, Cornwall. Lines entitled 'The Rencounter', written intentionally in the burlesque style, and a copy of 'Morn' transcribed from the first No. of the London Magazine.

Taliesin ab Iolo Morganwg, Merthyr Tydvil, to John Parry, esq., 17 Tavistock Street, Bedford Square, London. His father's date of birth. He fully intends to publish his life in the course of a year or two. He feels much obliged to the Cymmrodorion for their intended notice of his good father, and if not too late for the publication would be glad to transmit promptly some important information in furtherance of their desire.

Replying in connection with the desire of the Cymmrodorion Committee. He has no detached collection of Glyn Cothi's compositions. He had some conversation with Tegid at Cardiff on the subject. A question about the old music in the 3rd vol. of the Myf. Archaiology.

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydfil, to Mrs Powell, Blackwood. Giving his attempts at composing an epitaph for the tomb of her late husband.

[Taliesin Williams], Merthyr Tydfil, to ----. He was informed at Llanover about the middle of last month that the addressee was anxious to collect notices of Lewys Dwnn. Draft. Incomplete.

[Taliesin Williams], Merthyr Tydfil, to ----. Drafts of two letters, the one apparently to the Rev. -- Griffiths, who has removed his children from school without due notice, and the other acknowledging the interesting contribution towards a History of Swansea which the addressee was kindly pleased to present to him.

Taliesin Williams to [Mr Martin]. His wish to get a situation at one of the works here for his second son, John. Draft.

A request for information concerning Caerphilly Castle.

His intention to have written by Mr Davis of Neath in reply to the addressee's favour of Jan. 14. He hopes however that he (EW) has received an answer to his letter in its essential points by receiving (per Mr Davis) a copy of the new edition of their Liturgy as he had desired and likewise a copy of the writer's Calm Inquiry. He is glad to hear that the good Cause is going on so prosperously in the Principality. Mr Davis gave him a very high character of the addressee's book of hymns. He wishes that some of their English poets would employ themselves in a similar manner so that there might be no temptation to mangle and mutilate Dr Watts. The addressee complains very justly of the harshness of Dr Darwin's verse in Dr Disney's hymn-book, but the fault is not in Darwin. He is glad the addressee approves the Calm Inquiry so far as to think it worthy of being translated into the 'antient British', but fears that it will hardly answer to publish it. He had forgotten that he had sent the two guineas to Thomas Evans. It is not worth while to mention it to him again. If it was of use to him and his family at the time the end was answered. He hopes Mr Davis had a safe journey home.

He has just returned from visiting the ruins of Caerphilly. His wish to know something about these magnificent remains. Requesting an answer to Chepstow.

Her pleasure at hearing by his brother that he was well and settled in good business. For her part she is involved in trouble and can't get out of it without the assistance of friends. Enclosing a letter to be delivered to an unnamed person with a request to know the answer. The addressee should not direct his letter to her lest it should fall into her son-in-law's hands, but should direct it to Mr John Lloyd, Grocer, in Sadler Street, Wells, Somerset. The writer signs herself 'your loveing Aunt ..'. Endorsed: 'Mrs Blades Letter'. The part containing the address has been torn off.

The writer is deprived of a great pleasure which he hoped for. He would be very happy in an opportunity of thanking the addressee for much satisfaction in the perusal of his Poems and also to hear that he is about to indulge the public with more of his productions. Asking about a book which EW said he was about to publish about two years back and a collection of curious monumental inscriptions (in Glamorgan). Are they completed and are they to be published? Endorsed: 'Rev. Mr Bowen 1801'.
