Dear Sir
Many thanks to
you for your kindness in
giving me such a lot of
tracks which I really did not
expect but as you have been
so kind as to bestow them
upon me, I will accept of them
with great pleasure. You
certainly must understand
Welch or else how could
you recommend these Welch
Books to me. They are all
very entertaining particular-
ly the Memoir of [Mowhec?] it appears that his parents
were rather in a narrow cir-
cumstances though the
Lord Granted him a little
learning and the knowledge
of the Almighty which it seems
he was quite ignorant of before
he went to Norfolk Island but
he was very willing with
to share with his poor Country.
I am sure the other little
tracks are very pleasant
as you have been so kind
as to inform me that
you expect some more soon
