File 4131. - R.B. Hodgkinson from New Burlington Street [London], to Mr. David Thomas at Edwinsford, Llandilo Vawr,

He has employed Messrs. Denne to buy him the tickets by their brokers. He hopes the boxes will come safe tomorrow. He has desired the bankers to buy one more ticket and four halves, and as soon as he receives them he will send them to the recipient. He hopes the two parishes of Tally and Lansawell may get two of the greatest prizes and make them all rich. Pray who got most money at Landilo out of the half twenty thousand pounds. Messrs. Denne told him yesterday that they had returned the bill of Jack Thomas, he supposes, for £160. He has no great opinion of Jack Thomas. Mr. Gay might be a very good correspondent to 'him', but 'he; will soon disgust 'him'. Mr Gay is a very good sort of a man, and at the writer's request has gone into the City today to see if 'he' can dispose of a large quantity of butter that 'he' has at a moderate price; if not, 'he' cannot take to Thomas, and J. Thomas has nothing to do but to desire 'him' or somebody else to dispose of it as well as they can. He will write again on Saturday. They have had a great deal of wet and flood. Does the wall in Dole Crymlyn do any good?. P.S. The weather has been so mild and warm that the great dealers have been afraid of the butter spoiling upon their hands. He has just received the enclosed from Mr. Gay which the recipient may show to Jack Thomas, and 'he' must take some measures about it.
