A magical charm, issued by an un-named dyn hysbys (cunning man), to cure from illness 'the woman Ingram of Gilfach, Llanwnog, Caersws, Mont.', probably Elizabeth Ingram (1819?-1887). The charm, accompanied by several mystical symbols, is written in black ink on both sides of a leaf of feint-ruled paper taken from an exercise book or notebook. It is preserved along with its envelope, bearing the name 'Mrs Ingram', and a small contemporary cotton bag.
Elizabeth Ingram is recorded as living at Gilfachrhiew [Gilfachyrhiw or Gilfach Farm], Llanwnog, in the 1881 Census.

A transcript, 1853, in the hand of Matilda Pasley, of a version of George Owen of Henllys's 'Description of Milford Haven', dated 17 December 1595 (ff. 2-26), together with a note by the transcriber (f. 1).
The manuscript mostly agrees with the texts of Cardiff 2.46 and BL Add. 22623, as published in George Owen, The Description of Penbrokshire, ed. by Henry Owen, Cymmrodorion Record Series, 4 vols (London, 1892-1936), pp. 529-562; where Henry Owen lists minor variations between those two manuscripts the present transcript does not consistently correspond with one or the other. The wording of the title page (f. 2) is significantly different (see Henry Owen (ed.), p. 533), while the section beginning 'For the more ease…' which concludes the other manuscripts is here interpolated on ff. 17-18. A memorandum concerning Owen's methodology for drawing his map of Milford Haven does not appear to be recorded elsewhere (f. 22). The present manuscript is itself copied from an intermediate transcript made at Worsley [New] Hall, Lancashire, on 22 October 1852, by Mary L[ouisa Egerton, Viscountess] Brackley, from the original 1595 manuscript belonging to her father-in-law [Francis Egerton, 1st] Earl of Ellesmere (probably the manuscript now Huntington Library MS EL 1145 (34/B/32)) (see f. 1). In 1853 Matilda Pasley's husband, Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart, was in command of Pembroke Dockyard and the Pasleys became acquainted with Lady Brackley during visits to Stackpole Court, the seat of her father, the 1st Earl Cawdor (see Lawrence Phillips, 'Captain Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, Bt., R.N., and Pembroke Dockyard, 1849-1854', Mariner's Mirror, 71.2 (1985), 159-165 (pp. 160-161)).

A notebook containing a medical list for the South Camp at Frongoch internment camp, Merioneth, 17 July-18 August and 22 October 1916, compiled by Tomás O Donncadha (Tomás O Donohoe).
The lists, compiled daily, 17-23 July, 25 July, 29 July-2 August (ff. 4-10, rectos only, 11-13, 14) and 3-18 August (ff. 3 verso-7 verso, versos only, 8 verso-10 verso, 13 verso, 14 verso-20), are variously headed 'Hospital List', 'Medicine' or 'Medical List' and include the names of patients and their prisoner numbers. Three further lists, 22 October 1916 and [n.d.], are included on loose sheets (ff. 21-23). The volume also includes lists of Irish words and phrases (ff. 1 verso-2 verso, 18 verso-19). The volume is written mostly in pencil. Frongoch housed over 1800 Irish republicans between June and December 1916; the South Camp was located in an old whisky distillery, the nearby North Camp consisted of wooden huts. O Donohoe writes 'Farewell' on f. 19 verso and the end of the volume coincides closely with the release of the majority of the prisoners in mid-August.

A printed copy of Geoffrey of Monmouth, Britannie vtriusq[ue] regu[m] et principum origo & gesta insignia ex antiquissimis Britannici sermonis monumentis in Latinum traducta, 2nd edn ([Paris]: Jodocus Badius Ascensius, 1517, Adams G445), containing marginal annotations and underlinings throughout, in Latin, Welsh and English, by Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt (ff. 1-99 verso passim).
The annotations are written in at least two different inks and occasionally in pencil. Vaughan's inscription 'Dauydd ap Mredydd Glais a ysgrifennodd historia brenhinedd y Bryttanied o Vruttus hyd Gadwaladr Vendiged pan oedd Crist 1444 ar llyfr membrwn sydd gyda Mr Jon: Jones o Ysgeifiog', [?1620s], on f. 100 verso refers to the manuscript now Peniarth MS 22 (see Daniel Huws, Repertory).

A volume principally containing pasted-in cuttings of one hundred and ten English hymns, apparently removed from a copy of Hymns: Selected for the Use of Sunday Schools (Bridgend: printed by William Leyshon, [1854]) (title page pasted in on f. 1), nearly all interspersed with manuscript hymn tunes in staff notation in black ink (ff. 1 verso-107 verso), followed by cuttings of a series of chants (ff. 108-114 verso) and index of first lines (ff. 115-116) taken from the same book.
The remainder of the volume contains thirteen further hymns and hymn tunes entirely in manuscript (ff. 116 verso-128) and further cuttings of printed hymns from various sources (ff. 128 verso-138 verso, versos only). Based on the name on the front cover and the book's place of publication the compiler of the volume may be John Price of Bridgend, pharmacist and teacher at Bridgend's English Wesleyan Sunday School (see Rev. Thomas Osborn, Memorials of Mr. John Price of Bridgend (London and Bridgend, 1862)). None of the cuttings appear to have text on the pasted-down sides and may therefore derive from galley proofs or other pre-publication versions of the book; no complete copy of the book has been seen by the cataloguer.

A manuscript draft, [1946], of David Jones's introduction to the BBC radio production of his war poem 'In Parenthesis', first transmitted on the Third Programme, 19 November 1946. The draft contains deletions and revisions in ink and pencil in the hand of the author.
This draft is much closer to the script in its final typescript form (see NLW, David Jones (Artist and Writer) Papers LP5/3, ff. vii-x) than are the other extant drafts (ibid, LP5/4, ff. 1-9). The only significant changes that remained to be incorporated are: a new sentence to replace the line at the beginning of f. 2, the loss of a reference to Brittany (f. 2), the truncation of a section on Maximus the Great (f. 2) and a much expanded ending, with a list of four quotes to be taken directly from the book's introduction substituted with the full quotations (f. 3). The introduction was pre-recorded by Jones; the remainder of the programme was performed live by the cast on 19 November, with a live repeat the following evening.

An uncorrected, bound, proof copy, [?April 1937] of David Jones, In Parenthesis: Seinnyessit e gledyf ym penn mameu (London: Faber & Faber Ltd, 1937).
The proof is effectively identical to the three sets used to produce the corrected proofs now NLW, David Jones (Artist and Writer) Papers LP4/4-6, dated 7-17 April 1937; parts of the subsequent revise (ibid, LP4/8-9) were passed for press. In Parenthesis was published in June 1937, corresponding to the date inscribed on the front cover.
