Eitem 359. - W. Owen to [Edward Williams],

He has only time to write (to say) that he has not time to write an answer to the addressee's letter of yesterday. He will send the cywydd to Theo. Jones. The same post brought him a Bristol Newspaper which he soon judged to have been sent by Judge Hardinge, that WO might see his charge to the grand jury at Cardiff. The addressee's condemning sentence against the slavers in the W. Indies still rings in his ears. Longman & Rees mentioned the addressee's letter to them. He has in his way this morning got another book of Joanna's, not yet published, which he encloses with the sheets of Doethineb y Cymry. If he has time he will soon send a copy of an important letter from Joanna which came 4 or 5 days ago. Endorsed: 'Not important. Wm Owen's Letter 1803'.
