Dear Sir

Many thanks to you for your kindness in  giving me such a lot of  tracks which I really did not expect but as you have been  so kind as to bestow them  upon me, I will accept of them  with great pleasure. You certainly must understand Welch or else how could you recommend these Welch Books to me. They are all very entertaining particularly the Memoirs of Mowhee it appears that his parents were rather in a narrow circumstances though the  Lord Granted him a little  learning and the knowledge of the Almighty which it seems he was quite ignorant of before he went to Norfolk Island but  he was very willing with  to share with his poor Country. I am sure the other little tracks are very pleasant as you have been so kind  as to inform me that you expect some more soon

[Page 9]

I should be much oblige to you for the loan of some if it wont be of much trouble to you and if you come to Bettues perhaps  there are here some books that you should like to  read which you are very welcome if you come at any time - the Revd Mr Clay is expected here this Evening at 6 and tomorrow at three the one  that preached at Llandewy  at seven last Wednesday week - the Revd. Wm Herbert will be here next  Sunday week at three. William Herbert's Father the  one that lodges at the  Three horseshoe you can walk very well to Bettues on the Morrow they say that he is  an excellent preacher

I remain Dear Sir Your humble servant C E Jones
