L. H. Stockwood, Bridgend, secretary of the Rest Convalescent Home, Porthcawl,
Invites D. A. Thomas to the formal opening ceremony on 1st August of the Extension Buildings of the Rest which have recently been completed at a cost of about £6,000. A total of eighty-four patients can be accommodated.
H. A. Newton, National Trade Defence Fund, 5 Victoria Street, London SW,
They have received the petition from D. A. Thomas's constituents against the Welsh Veto Bill. Would like a line from D. A. Thomas acknowledging its receipt.
Thanks for the letter. Will call tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Telegram.
Richard N. Hall, 53 Queen Street,
Has sent a copy of the Resolution to Robert Hudson and asked him to include on the agenda the Welsh meeting at Portsmouth on the 12th. He is making the arrangements for north Wales. Has sent out invitations to the Welsh Members and announced that D. A. Thomas is to be the chairman. Could D. A. Thomas urge Thomas Edward Ellis, David Lloyd George and Major Edgar Jones to attend? They are being invited by the writer and Mr Llewellyn Jones.
Has heard from G. H. Gwynne that D. A. Thomas is happy to meet a deputation relating to the conduct of the police on Christmas Day. The deputation will be pleased to meet D. A. Thomas at Newport as soon as possible in order to give the full facts of the case.
W. A. Davies, Tudor Place, Aberdare,
There is a movement afoot to re-petition Parliament in favour of the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill. Would such a petition strengthen the hands of the Government? Aberdare is fully prepared to support the movement. The Government should be pressed to re-introduce the Bill as soon as possible in the next session.
W. Llywelyn Williams, managing director of the South Wales Daily Post, 211 High Street, Swansea,
Would have liked to attend the Portsmouth meetings, but had no wish to be 'an idle and useless spectator' there. Hopes that the Welsh speakers will take a firm stand; they should insist that Disestablishment should be treated in the next session as home rule was in the previous session. 'I mean what I said in the article, & hope you will persevere through evil & good reput [sic].'.
Lord Herschell, House of Lords,
Has offered Bradpole to a clergyman. Should he not accept, would be happy to consider the claims of the Rev. W. P. Davies together with those of other applicants for the diocese.
T. P. Williams, 24 Penuel Street, Twynyrodyn, Merthyr Tydvil,
The Dowlais Collieries Working Committee on 20 February considered the appointment of a JP for Dowlais and Merthyr. Would like D. A. Thomas and Mr W. Pritchard Morgan MP to use their influence with the Lord Chancellor on behalf of four worthy aspirants.
Frank Edwards, 111 Ashley Gardens, Victoria Street, SW,
'No answer has come from Rosebery, but I am told that he means to reply that no interview is needed as he hopes to make a declaration that will satisfy us.'.
M. E. Documa (?), Women's Total Abstinence Society, 58 and 59 Ludgate Hill, London EC,
He extends the gratitude of the Women's Total Abstinence Union to D. A. Thomas for introducing the Grocers Licence Abolition Bill. They are working zealously to secure petitions in support of the measure. Would welcome D. A. Thomas's suggestions to inaugurate a plan of campaign.
He is sorry that D. A. Thomas failed to put his bill down yesterday and has thus missed his opportunity in the ballot. Was himself too ill to be in the House to remind D. A. Thomas. If D. A. Thomas can bring in the bill and get it printed, this will encourage its supporters. He is suffering from an attack of sciatica and may fail to reach the House that day.
David Davies, Maesycoed, Merthyr,
He is glad that a pledge on disestablishment has been secured from the government. Hopes that the measure will go through during the current session. There is a very strong feeling in the Glamorganshire County Council and throughout the borough against the Merthyr Stipendiary's Act Session 1894. Hopes that D. A. Thomas and the other MPs representing Glamorganshire will do their utmost to oppose it. Lord Swansea, the chairman of the Glamorganshire County Council, did not act according to the Standing Order. Has written to the South Wales Daily News and the Western Mail on the subject. There has also been communications with the Home Secretary. Has heard a rumour that a certain gentleman has received a communication from the Lord Chancellor.
J. Herbert Lewis, Penucha, Caerwys,
Intends on Friday next to ballot for a place for a notice of motion on the 'desirability of establishing a domestic legislature for Wales'. Could D. A. Thomas also ballot for the same motion? Proposes that the motion shall be 'general in character, and non-committal as to details, only affirming the principle of self-government for Wales in domestic matters'.
James L. O'connell, War Office, Pall Mall,
Draws D. A. Thomas's attention to the case of the Clerks of the Second Division of the Civil Service. Resents the appointment to senior posts in the Civil Service of 'young untrained men from outside'. The first motion on the Civil Service Estimates will come on in the Commons on the 29th; hopes that D. A. Thomas will lend it his support.
Will send D. A. Thomas backers for the Bill. Will be in the Lobby the present day and the next.
Sees that D. A. Thomas has put his name on the Merthyr Stipendiary Bill. It will not hurt his political career in the least. Perhaps it would be best for D. A. Thomas not to put his name on the bill. Anticipates the next election. He is prepared to help.
D. Morgan, agent to the Aberdare, Merthyr and Dowlais Miners' Association, Miners' Office, Aberdare,
He will meet D. A. Thomas at his office at Cardiff on Saturday to arrange a plan of campaign for the Eight Hours Bill. Agrees that there should be a series of meetings in the Merthyr valley. The writer will deal in the press with the hauliers' meeting at the Globe Hotel, Merthyr. He is writing to Mr W. Pritchard Morgan MP by the same post.
