Item 738. - Thos Williams, Spanish Town, to his brother, Mr Edward Williams, Flemingstone,

Thos Williams, Spanish Town, to his brother, Mr Edward Williams, Flemingstone near Cowbridge, 'per Favour of Mr Hariet'. The gentleman who brings this is a particular acquaintance of the writer's since his first arrival in this country. He has promised Mr Harriet to request EW to let him have the house at Gilestone till the writer comes home - he hopes to come next year for good. His brothers Miles and John are well, but he is very sorry to inform the addressee that Law is likely to be the only resource he (TW) has left to persuade them to do him justice. Miles is unmarried; John is married but has no children. He has received a letter from Mrs Margerret Harison (Bansteed) - he would be glad to know where she resides at present. He enclosed a letter to her in that of Mr Spencer's answer respecting the death of his son Gilliad Spencer. The difficulty of finding out what his effects were. If the addressee should be in circumstances that £40 or £50 would be of great service, instructing him to draw on the writer to that amount. If the addressee continues in the bookselling line, telling him to send two or three sets of the best magazines and newspapers. He would be glad if the addressee could send his son to London to make him master of his trade and see a little of the world as he (TW) could wish to find him able to manage business when he comes home.
