Fletcher, [March] 1801, Libri Walliae 2052), compiled by Edward Griffith of Caernarfon and Ymwlch, Justice of the Peace. The letters, here transcribed by an unidentified hand, relate to the controversy caused by a troop of the Fourth Dragoons being sent to Bangor and Caernarfon on 31 January 1801, in anticipation of further unrest following a disturbance in Caernarfon in November 1800.

This has not been seen but a cropped copy of the title-page is included in NLW MS 23626E; the present text corresponds to pp. 1-34 of the second edition (Chester: J. Fletcher, [April] 1801), with some variants. The correspondents represented include Griffith himself, the Duke of Portland, then Home Secretary (pp. 31, 49-50), Viscount Bulkeley (pp. 20-20b, 48, 51), and various county gentry and Dragoon officers.
