Congratulates Owen on the apparent hopes he has of comfort from Lady Owen who he understands is in a brave and thriving condition. Reminds Owen of a former kindness in trying to arrange for the writer to become his neighbour in Oswestry. But at that time Mr Evans was not provided for, although he had a promise of another thing more suited to his genius and inclination, which he hears is now adoing if not already done. Has also been informed that the Bishop and the Town have come to an accommodation about that school's concern and that Mr Evans is to quit that employment very suddenly. If all this be true and the Bishop and the Town think fit, the writer can now comply with Owen's former kind motion to serve his friends in that troublesome and thankless employ to the best of his capacity.
