| Description | "The application is without precedent" remarks Sanderson, forwarding the cop of the letter to the Rev. Hugh Wynne Jones, Rector of Llantrisant, for his opinion and advice; "however, we live in an age when all sorts of anomalies are countenances, and why should not the Protestant and dissenter live together in unity".
The Rector takes a less charitable view : he believes Griffith to be "a respectable and zealous young man" but believes, too, that "he is feeling the effects of that want of continual excitement for his flock which is afforded to the Calvinistic Methodists by continual changes in the cycles of their preachers, and that his meeting-house has not answewer that expectations of the speculators". It would, therefore, in his opinion, be a mistake for his Lordship to give favourable consideration to the Holyhead case (2210-2212). In a different category is 2219 soliciting the Marquess' interest in a new steam vessel "euqal in speed to any of the Holyhead packets". A Caernarvon poet of the name of Vernons, grateful for past favours, hopes for an extension of his Lordship's patronage (2223). November 1831 brings up the melancholy case of the Rev. Goronwy Williams, an erstwhile "acceptable young man" fallen a "victim to improvidence" (2228-2231) |
