| Description | Has stumbled over a ms. book out of Harleian library with 6 other mss. on the genealogies of Wales and England. One of them being the pedigree of tair sir deheubarth in Lewi Dwnn's own hand. His book [?Plans of Harbours, Bays, and Roads in St. George's and the Bristol Channels] goes very fast and shall do better when the town fills. Thanks [O. Meyrick] for subscribing to it. "Mae dynion fal defaid neu anifeiliaid eraill, pan elo un ir dwr fe a'r cwbl". Intends to publish a catalogue of those names that have subscribed - if he could get the King and Prince he should be up.
