'You' will be surprised to receive this from the hands of 'my' coachman. 'He' is sent for 'my' chariot and the curricle with the pair of coach horses and the black mare and Morgan with proper apparatus of harness, etc., which Richard will of course select, viz. the leading harness, short traces, long reins and small pieces of leather that makes the curricle harness answer the purpose of coach harness; two four-horse whips and the white, one pair of horse whip[s] to be packed in the long box that is in the Sportsmans Hall; the harper and harp who will travel in my chaise - Dio to come with Richard and of course to drive either the chaise or the curricle as they can best manage the arrangement. 'I' expect Mr. Williams here on Tuesday next and that the importation from Wales will arrive on Friday next.

He received recipient's letter. Al have arrived safely; they were not three hours coming from Swansea to Ilfracombe. Mr. Williams arrived here last Tuesday in great spirits, likewise James and Charles. Mrs. Williams is at Tunbridge Wells. Mr. Williams is in great spirits about the petition, as 'he' says all the House of Commons laugh at it. 'He' thinks it will not come on till April or May. Mr. Williams has two of the best counsel in London, but they are to have 20 guineas a day each as soon as the petition comes on. The writer is afraid Sir James will not go to London this year, but Mr. Williams's family come here as soon as they leave London, so that the writer may not expect to see Wales again for some time. Davye desires 'you' to let 'his' wife know that he has arrived safely here. 'I' think 'he' will be here about a month. Pray deliver the enclosed as they are directed. 'I' have not sold any of 'my' butter as yet, as it is cheaper here. The cheese that you sent was for Sir James. Best respects to all friends. Mr. Williams was at church today. The bells rang all day. Likewise everybody, men and women, was dressed in red ribbons in compliment to him, so that it looked like an election here. Mr Williams has just received a fresh petition from London. Mansel Phillips (Mansil Phillips) has sent it in, accusing both Mr. Williams and Paxton of bribery.

It mad 'me' very happy to find by 'your' letter that 'you' were in good health. 'Your' kind present has put 'me' in high spirits, and will spur 'me' on to apply closely to 'my' books in order to merit 'your' remembrance. 'My' mother is much recovered since her residence at Tunbridge. 'We' are all in high health and much enlivened by the harp. Best remembrance to 'you' and 'my' sisters.

Jas. Hamlyn from Clovelly Court, to [David] Thomas at Edwinsford. He has written for Mr. Williams's return from camp to give him cover for his letter. He finds it much easier to pay away a large sum of Money than to get it together. He hopes that those whom the recipient paid are perfectly satisfied. The recipient will be supplied with cash for the remainder as soon as possible. He was in hopes that the Committee had settled the small bills that remained unexamined. At the same time he thinks that Mr. Bishop and the other gentlemen named at the last meeting would with much propriety settle the extravagant bill for lodging, etc. he dares say that Lord Robt. Seymour will assist the recipient, and 'our' good friend the Admiral also. The Carmarthen bills are of that sort that the claimants may very well wait 'our' convenience. Mr. Jas. Williams of Narboth will be among the first to be discharged - 'his' bill is cut down by £41 by the Carmarthen Committee. He has talked to Mr. Williams about the survey of 'his' estate. 'He' agrees that the recipient should inquire from Mr. Hassel the latter's terms and fix the season for viewing the farms and valuing them. Perhaps it might be done before Lady day. The term to be granted to the tenants is for one life. He left his butter and cheese account with the recipient, without keeping a copy. He hopes the masons had finished the wall of the stable yard before the wet weather, and that they are going on briskly with the interior work. Mrs. Williams wrote fully on her piggery, and the recipient's management of it. The coppice wood is to be cut next spring. How does the wheat crop flourish in Dole Grimblyn, and after the potatoes? He supposes the labourers are going on with the fence to Brynabon Wood. He hopes Charlotte and Orlando are quite well. P.S. Prices of wheat, barley, beef, mutton, pork, wool, butter, and potatoes.

He requests the delivery of the enclosed letter to Mr. Lewis of Gwinfe, respecting the sale of part of the glebe of Clovelly to redeem the land tax of the rectory. Lord Robert Seymour reports that the recipient's inquiries at Neath show that there is no fraud there. P.S. Barley goes off fast at 3s. and it is expected to rise... Mutilated.

Mr. Williams has answered the most material parts of the recipient's letter of the 21st. With respect to Jenkin Morgan, he thinks £10 is sufficient for the ribbons, instead of the sum of £60 recommended to be paid (because Sir William Paxton did so). He concludes the £10 on Mrs. Jones's certificate is paid. Mr. Williams has determined not to mortgage. They have had no frost or snow, but abundance of rain lately. Mr. And Mrs. Williams are gone to join the Regiment, but are expected here in ten days or a fortnight. He is glad to hear that the little ones are well and warmly clothed for their snowy climate. He has an ugly pain in his right shoulder, whether rheumation or gout he cannot determine.

He cannot send any news. Mr. Williams is with his Regiment. Mr. And Mrs. St. John leave here today; likewise Master Hamlyn. He is happy to hear that Mr. Harvy is going on so well - he was in hopes of hearing from 'him' or Mr. T. Price before now. None of the family goes to London this year. Please pay Mrs. Loyde £1.7s. for her honey and wax. He has settled with Mrs. Williams for the other honey. He desires to know whether he had any dried salmon sent to Edwinsford. Remembrances. P.S. Sir James wants some more cheese sent over. There are plenty of vessels coming over from Swansea.

He desires the delivery of the enclosed letter of petition to Mr. Lewis of Gwinfe by Dio, for 'his' signature, and its return under cover to Mr. Williams, directed here. Mr. Williams sets out for London tomorrow morning. He hopes Dio got safe and well across the Channel. He will be happy to hear that the recipient enjoys good health, and that Mrs. Lloyd of Cwmcutta is quite well. He wishes the recipient could come over here to see their great ox.

Mr. St. John tells him from London that he will send the recipient a conveyance of some land the writer has bought of Mr. Lewis, being part of the glebe of the rectory of this parish, for the redemption of 'his' land tax. When it arrives, the recipient is to take it to Gwinfe, witness its execution by Mr. Lewis, and return it. There should be no delay as the money should be paid by 23rd instant. P.S. Prices of good ox beef, mutton and lamb, veal, and wheat. Hay harvest not yet begun.

He received a letter from Mr. Williams respecting the black bull, wherein he is to called on the recipient for the damage. He certainly is the cheapest beast he ever bought. It is out of one of the finest cows ever seen in Pembrokeshire, and the Edwinsford stock will be benefited by him. It cost no more than £11, and 3s.6d. for bringing him from six miles below Pembroke to this place. To Mr. Williams it may be worth hundreds of pounds. By one bull of this kind the writer has been benefited several hundreds, nor would he have spared this to anyone, Mr. Williams only expected. P.S. When 'you' come to Carmarthen, 'you' may have the amount with Mr. Llewelyn, or should the writer want cash, he will draw for it and leave the draft with Mr. Llewellyn or Mr. Waters at the Bank. He might have had 15 guineas for the bull from a farmer in this neighbourhood.

He encloses Mrs. Jones's certificate, which, when completed, is to be enclosed to Mr. Child & Co. to place to the writer's account. Mr. St. John has written to say that the conveyance was forwarded on the 4th instant. He fears the rain has hindered recipient's hay. They are busy with their turnip sewing, which makes amends for the hindrance in the hay. Mr. and Mrs. Gooch and Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker are with them. P.S. All their crops are very fine.

B. Foard from Clovelly, to Mr. D. Thomas at Edwinsford. He is sorry to hear that Mr. Harvey has not paid the 8 guineas. Please to send the enclosed note to 'him' the first opportunity. He has received the money for Capt. Jinkins's cask of butter, £3.9s.8d. He will pay the money to Sir James, but Mr. Williams the harper wants some wages. He does not think Sir James will go to London this year, but means to go himself in a fortnight' time. He believes Sir James will be in Wales the beginning of May, 'when I find the Bildings is to go Forword'. Remembrances. P.S. Write before the writer leaves here, but he shall have it in London.

The party destined for this place are all arrived safe and well. They spent a week at Bath, where they parted with Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Dizey, and James, - 'they' for London and 'we' for Devon, and who had the best of the bargain. They found the goods from Edwinsford here safe. The Harper and Grace on Monday last arrived vastly well. Their colds are getting better. The party with the gig and the horses were sadly annoyed by the snow, but all has ended well. Miss Edwards desires him to mention that some seed was left in Mrs. Williams's dressing room which should have been delivered to the gardener. P.S. The little ones desire their love and compliments with Miss Edwards.

He encloses the bill of Mrs. Morgans of Kidwelly, signed by Mr. Skyrme and Mr. Howells, ever since 25 May, 1804, the interest of which amounts to nearly £2. He desires the recipient to remit Mr. Lloyd the amount by return of post. He hopes the recipient has also remitted the amount of r. Laugharne's demand; if not done, the writer shall be sued for the same.

He acknowledges bills to the value of £20.4s. to discharge the bill of Mrs. Morgans of Kidwilly at the ejection. He fears he will be sued by Mr. Laugharne; he wrote to 'him' before 'he' went to London at the request of Mr. Marten to say that 'he' would be paid. 'I hope you will take care that I am not brought into a scrape about it'.

He hopes the recipient will not condemn him for a bad correspondent. Three or four friends of his son's propose next week to pay a visit at Edwinsford, and he thought he would give him a hint to have a fowl by the heels and any little thing else. They intend to be there on a Wednesday night at supper or on Thursday at dinner. The recipient will order two beds to be well aired. He hopes this letter will find him quite hearty and well, and the stock and farm in fine order. The young ladies and Miss Edwards desire to be remembered to the recipient and their Welsh friends.

Lengthy comments on the recipient's commission concerning the sale of the Abermarles estate, with references to Lord Exeter's opinion; Mrs. Sneyd; Mrs. Vaughan; Thos. Stanley Vernon of Bromsgrove, esq.; the will (1771) of Thos. Vernon, esq., of Hanbury Hall, co. Worcester, father of Mrs. Sneyd; the marriage of Lord Exeter and Miss Vernon; and the Act of Parliament for dissolving the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil. He has been unable to accept an invitation to Edwinsford, partly because of alterations in the house adjoining the writer's. He is transacting business with a gentleman below the recipient. He is happy to hear that Mrs. Hamlyn finds that the air of South Wales agrees with her health. He saw Martin a day or two before 'he' went into Cornwall. His son has been unwell with a fever occasioned by violent exercise in the riding school; 'he' is a horse volunteer in Lincolns Inn, and was obliged to go to the seaside before going the circuit. P.S. If necessary, he will write to his Proctor for an office copy of Mr. Vernon's will. He expects it is a long one.

He takes the opportunity of Mrs. Clinton's return to England of sending a few seeds of the rarest and finest flower of Ceylon for Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Whitaker (with references to China creeper, flowerin shrubs, and sindric-mal). Col. Clinton's return id the result of some disappointment or dissatisfaction. Comments on a new indignity offered by the Judges to General Wemyss. Though recommended strongly to Mr. North by Lord Boringdon, he has no reason to think himself particularly favored by His Excellency, and is not eligible to a civil appointment. This is a hardship which he sensibly feels. But he is not destitute of consolation. They are in daily expectation of hearing of the appointment of a new Governor. Best wishes to Mrs. Williams, to whom he sends a cornelian necklace via Bombay, and remembrances to the youg folks. His sister writes that Charles has gone to sea.

Lengthy observations on the recipient' letter respecting the proposed augmentation of the duty upon husbandry horses, and upon the possibility of establishing a different rate of duty for horses employed on farms under £50 per annum. The writer offers to discuss the subject in person with the recipient at 12 o'clock on Wednesday morning.

He encloses a copy of the 'Lines sent with a Fan, by a Gentleman to a Lady, on one side of which was painted an Old Woman sitting on the ground with spectacles on her nose, reading, and crutches by her side, and on the reverse a Lady richly dressed distributing Alms'. Mira, take this painted Fan,. Of it, make the most you can.
