Walter Dowding, Hafod y Bryn, Bryn Mawr, Breconshire. Quotes from verses which he [the writer] wrote in October 1951. They embody a criticism of the propaganda embodied in the work by D. J. and Noëlle Davies, Can Wales Afford Self Government? Discusses his views on the rise of nations to win their freedom. Hopes that Huw T. Edwards's conversion to nationalism will provide a dimension which has been lacking in Plaid Cymru since the 'suppression' of Saunders Lewis and the death of Kitchener Davies.

Wilfred Fienburgh, The Labour Party, Transport House, Smith Square, London SW1, to Mrs Eirene White.

William [ ], 5 Severn Square, Newtown, Montgomeryshire. Has much enjoyed Tros y Tresi. Knows of many of the places in Dyffryn Conwy to which Huw T. Edwards refers in the book. It is sure to have a wide circulation. Encourages Huw T. Edwards also to publish a volume of his poetry. Welsh.

William [ ], Bryn Mair, Penmaenpool, Dolgellau. Has been listening to Huw T. Edwards on the radio and reading in the newspapers his report outlining the reasons for his resignation. It required extraordinary courage and resolution to resign such an important post out of principle. Congratulations on the great work which he undertook as Chairman; it is not his fault that the work has not been put into practice. It will be a great loss to the Council to be deprived of its leader. The London civil service has been given a hard knock, and it is to be hoped that a healthier spirit will emanate from Whitehall in the future. All Welshmen are solid in their support of him. Would much like to see Huw T. Edwards. Welsh.

William Arnold, Secretary of the Welsh National Council of the United Nations Association, The Welsh National Temple of Peace and Health, Cathays Park, Cardiff. Hopes that the enclosed will prove of help, and regrets the delay in sending it on. 'I can assure you that the atmosphere here is foul and that the administration and spirit is all so out of joint because of the moral[e] not at the top and the sooner the better this is cleared up. It disturbs me very much to see how people without a public conscience can so easily control and disrupt public institutions. What is happening in Aberystwyth is an indication of the same sort of thing in our lives'.

William Harries, Chairman of the Welsh Trade Centre, Bracken House, 110 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Invites Huw T. Edwards to attend a luncheon which he is giving at the House of Commons on 7 November. Lord Ogmore has very kindly agreed to make arrangements to secure this venue. The aim of the Welsh Trade Centre is to provide a permanent showroom display in the West End of London for consumer goods made in Wales, for Welsh industry and tourism. It is hoped to establish it in Regent Street or Piccadilly, where many hundreds of visitors would come each day. Such a centre would do much for the good name of Wales, her products, her industries and tourism.

William Whiteley, MP, 12 Downing Street, London SW1. William Whiteley will recall that Huw T. Edwards wrote to him as President of the North Wales Labour Parties Federation recommending names for inclusion in the Honours List. Of these names, Mrs M. Silyn Roberts of Bangor was honoured, and there was generally a great deal of satisfaction in North Wales when the list was published. The writer certainly has no axe to grind as he has no wish for an honour. Names three further individuals from North Wales whom he believes to be worthy recipients of honours: David Thomas of Bangor, Alderman W. J. Rees of Rhyl, and Alderman J. T. Edwards of Ponciau, Wrexham. Outlines briefly their records of public service. All three are pioneers of the Labour Movement within North Wales, and their recognition in this way would be highly popular in North Wales. 'Private and Confidential'.
