Item 244. - [Owen Jones], Myfyr, London, to Mr Edwd Williams, Flimstone near Cowbridge,

He would have acknowledged his letter of Nov. 27, but had no opportunity of seeing their friend Will. He would not wish to hurry the addressee when he has been so long absent from his family. Instructions Re drawing money . He wishes the addressee [had] given him those hints about T. Nant from Denbigh - it was too late. J. Wms Llanrwst is a madman; they wrote to him from the authority given them by Mr Panton demanding immediate delivery of the books he has kept so long (to his disgrace) from the right owner, but they have had no answer as yet. The writer hopes to be able to start ? with [? EW] to Hengwrt about June. He has been hard at work for this month past transcribing the vol. of pedigrees of Mr Johns. Bawddyn has an excellent well-drawn system of Welsh Heraldry by the late Mr Thomas, Master of Beaumaris School, and though he has had the use of all the writer's MSS he has been mean enough to refuse them the loan of it or even a sight of it. A request for some South Wales pedigrees - these of Mr Johns do not extend towards the addressee's country further than co. Card.
