LETTER: David Thomas, 2O Percy Circus, Holford Sq., London, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomas, Cafe, Castle Sq., Caernarfon, acknowledging letter and parcel and tells them what to send and not to send in future. Asks them for £2 to tie him over. The young man who used to share a room with him has just got married so in future he will have to pay 15/6d. and gives details of how he arrives at this, but if he bought butter and bacon it would come to 18/- a week. He had been to see a doctor with severe earache, for which he was given some medicine. Mentions Dr. Parker’s sermon. Snow’s thick on the ground. He has seen Lewis Roger (who used to recite in connections against his father) in King’s Cross, a few minutes walk from his lodgings. Has not heard from his Uncle Henry for a while, sends his regards.
