| Teitl | Correspondence between Fred Milner of Hamsell Manor, Eridge Sussex and Lord Penrhyn, where Milner pledges support for Lord Penrhyn in the upcoming libel action and discusses the recent visit of the Bethesda choir to his constituency. Letters contain some interesting insights of Lord Penrhyn's emotions in relation to the strike, and contains comments about his 'chief flanderer' (W.J.Parry) and the Bethesda Choir 'I am very glad to say that the Bethesda gents had a very sparse audience in my constituency, & I doubt if they covered their expenses.' Mentions the idea that Lord Penrhyn should issue some form of printed statement to be sent to the local papers wherever the choir will be performing so that his side of the story can be made known. Lord Penrhyn asserts that 'The people who are going about in choirs from Bethesda under the auspices of the Committee of the relief fund at that place are spreading no end of lies about me & about the origin of the strikes, they are in fact obtaining money from the British public under false pretences and I often wish some one would pull them up for it as it would have a most salutary effect.' |
