Scope and content
Twenty-one holograph letters, 1806-1827 and undated, some imperfect, from [the Reverend] John Humphreys [Calvinistic Methodist minister and author] from Croeswian, Caerwys, and Cil-y-Llwyn [near Bodfari]. Ten of the letters are addressed to Daniel Jones at Chester (1) and at Mr. Painter's, printer, Wrexham, and the remainder, though bearing no address, are in all probability intended for the same person. They refer to personal and family matters, preaching engagements, religious meetings, etc., but deal mainly with the publication and distribution of the parts of a scriptural work on which the writer appears to have been engaged at the time, possibly the translation into Welsh of Samuel Clark's commentary on the Bible (see D. E. Jenkins: The Life of the Rev. Thomas Charles . . ., vol. II, pp. 487-91).
