LETTER: Dick [Richard Williams] at Minneapolis, Minn. to Myfanwy. He will be able to write more regularly as he is not as busy as he was. He is glad to hear her visitors have left and that she and `auntie’ had tea at Llety and thinks the people that live there a little out of the ordinary but they might have acted ` a little bit sedate’ with her as they know she and Dick were `sweet’ on one another, uncle Robin used to tease him. Talks of his grandfather’s love of showing his mother’s picture and how Uncle David or Uncle Robin had tried to get the photo from him. He had written to Dick J. Williams that he would not rent The Gwyndy to him as he thought he might go and live there himself and grandfather has probably got `wise’ from that. Uncle David offended him by not bringing him anything from London, he ought to have realised grandfather is in his second childhood. He hopes she did not get sick after going with auntie to get cockles. The presidential election is the following day and all of them hope they can vote for "Taft" as their next president. He is a Republican as they always have better times in this country when the "Rep" rules. He thinks of the former as "Torreys and latter (Democrats) as Whigs." They have organised 2 classes in his chapel to study "Cryondeb y ffydd. Duwunyddiaeth athrawiaethol" by Cynddylan Jones D.D. and the English class have chosen to study "The Book of Books." It has started very interesting and they are to have a Cyfarfod Llenyddol once a month. Tom Williams has had the honour of being secretary. Mr. and Mrs. O.T. Morris and Miss Morris his sister have arrived safely as he saw them in chapel.
