Letters to John Matthews (1808-1870) from his father, his mother, and his sisters. The letters breathe an atmosphere of a wholesome and helpful piety - many interesting references to Methodist Associations, to the preachers who came to them, to Evan Evans the missionary and his son Thomas Charles (Letter 11). Evan Evans had returned from S.Africa in poor health, and died at Llanidloes a few weeks after this letter was written. There is a description of the sale of his home in Clydfanc by his daughter Ann in letter 12. The letters also bear evidence to the gravitation towards the South. n.d.
