LETTER: Dick [Richard Williams] at Minneapolis, Minn, to Myfanwy. He has just received 2 letters from her. He has been working nights for the last 3 weeks doing plumbing work for some of his "co-workers" down at the shop and is "nearly fagged out" and getting "thin as a nail." He has worked at the shops the last 3 Sundays and doesn’t know what they will think of a Sunday School Supt. working on the Sabbath day. There is one reason why he would prefer living in "old Wales." If he refused to work on Sundays he would probably lose his job. He is dreading the long, cold winter. He is lonely and missing her terribly. He thinks of then getting- married and living "at the dear old house. He is glad that her season is through and was sorry to understand that they were all somewhat crippled with rheumatism. He is glad uncle Bob was interested enough in her to show her what he bought at the auction and thinks she should ask him to look out some bargains for them so that he will take the hint that they are engaged. He inquires if John Bach Llety is back from South Wales and hopes "Sir Fonyn" will make a match on Nellie next door. Discusses her kindness to his Aunt Alice and hopes that Alice will have a nice time in London. Asks what she admires about him, he is sure he has much more to admire in her. He thinks she will make an economical wife. The presidential election takes place on Nov. 3, the candidates are busy electioneering and it will be an exciting time. Describes Mr. Roberts’ "ladylove" whom R.W. used to teach at Sunday School in Lime Springs. He has not seen Mr. Thomas who might be related to her, and who has lost his wife. He thinks it was too bad about her little cousin and his mother gone also, her husband must feel terrible. It will be nice for her to have cousin Jennie with her. He hopes she can go to Coed Poeth and enjoy herself after working so hard during the super months although Ida will be vexed if she intended going to stay with her. Mr. Jones is going to get married. Discusses a disagreement between her "faulkes and them" re. her Uncle John’s gravestone. He thinks she’s much better than him at keeping a secret, he has already told 3 of his close friends. He knew that Miss Morris was engaged to be married to some preacher but thinks it must have fallen through or she would not go to America.
