| Description | Is heartily sorry to hear of his grandmother's death. Expects to see his brother Dicky before long. Brother Hugh told him to tell her that he wanted money and if she would be so kind as to send him some with Harry Williams, he would apply himslef to learning. The writer will supply Hugh with money until Harry Williams comes, but his own stock will be out by that time, and so he desires his mother to send him some as well. Indeed he is so sparing of his money as he can, for he has to provide a great many little things both pen and ink, paper and colours to paint, for it is chargeable to live in a town from home. Is given as little to play as any in the school, for as soon as he comes home from school he goes to his chamber either to draw 'pickers' or to read. Has bought a great many fine cuts to draw by.
P.S. Would be very glad if she could send a deck ot two of cards, for cards are very dear at Ross; and a wax candle apiece to burn, "for to make our Exercise att night".
[Edward Owen was the fourth son Robert and Ann Owen of Penrhos; succeeded to the estate after his brother William (ob. 1740/1741.)] |
