A transcript, 1732-1737 (ff. ii and v), by Moses Williams of William Baxter's commentary on Juvenal, taken from Baxter's manuscript (now NLW MS 23975D) and probably intended for use as printer's copy.
The transcript reproduces the text of Baxter's commentary (ff. 1-286), his life of Juvenal (ff. vi-viii) and classical quotes (f. ix) but omits the text of the Satires; the notes are identified by line number rather than Baxter's individual numbering. The text is written on rectos only, with occasional comments and corrections on versos. An engraving of Baxter pasted into the volume as a frontispiece (f. iii verso) is apparently taken from a copy of his Glossarium Antiquitatum Britannicarum (London: W. Bowyer, 1719, ESTC T40850). Part of the text is displaced, with f. 77 following on from f. 78, evidently an error on the part of Williams. The text of ff. 1-2 was published as a specimen in Williams' - Proposals for printing by subscription D. Gulielmi Baxteri quæsupersunt enarrationes & notæ in D. Junii Juvenalis satyras (London: [William] Bowyer, 1732, ESTC T135764).

The file includes the pre-nuptial agreement of Anthony Ball and Mary Edwards, sister of John Edwards of Llanfair, 1732; the affidavit of Anthony Ball (junior), 1733; a case and opinion on the claims by Elizabeth, first wife of Anthony Ball (since divorced), and Mary Edwards his second wife, 1733; an inventory of the goods of Anthony Ball of the Lodge, 1733; and a general release with coveyance to Mary Edwards, of personal goods of the deceased, 1733.4.

A manuscript, now in two volumes, containing transcripts of letters, 1732-1738, from the Rev. Griffith Jones, Llanddowror, to Madam Bridget Bevan (cf. NLW MS 6137D), followed by a copy of one letter, 24 September 1734, from (Sir) John Phillips, London to Mr [Griffith] Jones. A note at the beginning subscribed 'Tho. Charles' [i.e. the Rev. Thomas Charles of Bala] reads 'The Letters of the Rev. Griffith Jones Rector of Llandowror, Caermarthenshire, to Mrs Beavan of Laugharne. - They were copied faithfully from a Mss Book in Mrs Beavan's keeping, in which she caused all the letters to be transcribed, & were presented to me by the Rev. Mr Evans, curate of the aforesaid parish of Llandowror.' [i.e. the Rev. Thomas Evans (d. 1807)]. This manuscript contains one or two notes, dates, etc., in the autograph of the Thomas Evans, e.g. ff. 47 verso-53, 161 (pencil numbering) (cf. NLW MS 6137D, p. 363). It has been freely marked in pencil, probably by the Rev. Edward Morgan, Syston, editor of Letters of the Rev. Griffith Jones ... to Mrs Bevan (London, 1832). The exact relationship between the two transcripts in the National Library of Wales and a third formerly in the Carmarthen Museum and now in the Carmarthenshire County Record Office, Carmarthen, has yet to be established.
