Scope and content
[Owen Jones], 'Myfyr', London, to Mr Edwd Williams, Marble Mason, at Mrs Jane Owen, old Crown, Beaumaris. Asking him to send immediately per coach from Bangor all that he has now by him. He has written in friendly terms to Nant but has had no answer. He finds that Mr York of Erddig has another book of pedigrees. The matter on which the addressee enjoins secrecy - if the Library robbed were his he would send rhywun to Botany Bay. Bawddyn made it a very great favour to lend them Trioedd Ynys P[rydain] and hanes Gruffdd ap Cynan, &c., No. 26 of P[las] Gwyn Library. The writer has not seen Bawddyn since - had he seen him he intended to charge him with having the 15th and other Vol[umes] that are missing. They have a catalogue of the whole of P. hir's MSS - he is very sorry that the addressee made any such promise. ... He (EW) may depend that Bawddyn will never get back 26, but it shall be returned with the rest. As soon as he saw the book he mentioned to Will strong suspicion that Bawddyn procure(d) it by bribery.
