  <dc:title>Copies of two letters from William Jones of Pwllheli to 'Mrs Priestley' and 'John Lloyd, Esq.,'</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The recipients were two of the local Tory gentry who had withdrawn their custom from W.J. 'on account of the Political Principles I hold and of the active part I took in the present Election' (i.e. the Caernarvon boroughs election of 1832, at which Sir Charles Paget, a Whig and member of the Plas Newydd (Anglesey) family, defeated the Tory candidate, Owen Jones Ellis Nanney, after an appeal by the latter and a counter-appeal by Paget. William Jones acted as Deputy Returning Officer at Pwllheli). The two letters are in defence of his principles and the line taken by him in the election.</dc:description>
