File 2920. - Thomas Lloyd from Brecon, to [Lloyd Williams],

This day fortnight, the 9th instant, the writer sent the recipient a letter giving an account of 'your' sister's inconsiderable resolution to pursue the affair with Evans, and that he was informed Mr. Henry Williams was preparing a draft of a settlement. He therein also desired to receive the recipient's order about supplying 'your' sister with any further sums of money, and concluding with his opinion that she was hurrying herself into ruin, which was not in his power to prevent. Having not the favour of an answer makes him suspect his letter reached not the recipient's hands, which partly occasions this, to be satisfied therein, and to add that a draft was prepared by Mr. Williams and carried by Evans to Monmouth Assizes to be perused by Mr. Clive, which Evans returned with last Saturday. On Friday evening last Mr. John Powell was at Penynant to wait on Mrs. Powell, in order to end matters in an amicable manner. Mr. Powell declined it, desiring it might be deferred for a fortnight. This intended delay, it is presumed, was with a view to hurry on the marriage in the meantime, but Mr. John Powell would not be put off so, for next day 'he' served one of the tenants with a declaration in ejectment on a mortgage assigned to a friend in trust for his father for 121 principal money, being part of what was paid by and due to Mr. Gab. Powell over and above the £2000 he was to pay by the marriage articles. Suits are commencing for other debts and the furniture and goods bought by Mr. Gab. Powell since 'his' marriage. He understands 'your' sister received a letter from 'you' this day sevennight, but the contents and everything else relating to her are concealed from your' sincere humble servant.
