You may easily believe that the wishes of all in these parts are ardent for your welfare, especially considering your self interest never fails of its due effect even on those who are insensible of nobler views and motives - least you should suspect us of being so ungrateful as to forget you, or rather least you should forget us, I presume to present you witha few lines as it were in your name of my parish, to keep up a good understanding betwixt us, ag megis i dynnu siappri a chwi, gan eich bod (i Dduw bo'r diolch) yn rhesymol iach - gan eich bod yrwan wedi cael y llaw yn drecha' ar eich gelyn (sef eich clefyd) a chwedi rhoi iddo godwm teg, - er mwyn dyn cadwch o ar lawr tan eich traed ag na adewch iddo godi eilwaith am bris yn y byd. Brysiwch adre' yn rhodd, fel y bo ini ymgasclu och cylch fel haid o wenyn, a chyd lawenhau a chanu pennill di..... a d'wedyd hen chwedl mwyn, megis yn y dyddiau gynt .....
