Item 355. - Wm Owen 'For Mr Ed. Williams, Flimston.',

Mr Jones having a frank for this day to EW he takes the opportunity of enclosing this (so) that Mr Rees of Cowbridge may see whether the globes, & c., marked (see reverse side) will do for his purpose. Is sorry to have been so dilatory in answering the addressee's letters; much of the fault arose however from a hope of EW's return to London, but here is March come and no signs of that event. This he considers as a misfortune, because the History of the Bards is by that means put off. 'Ceinciau y cethreawr '. Nena is waiting to carry this to Thames Street. Endorsed: 'History of the Bards. March 3d 1803'.
