Dear Sir
Downing Febr. 22d. 1784.
You lay me under fresh obligations not ony by the print of Ld Herbert1 & others contained in the Box sent to Moses: but by the genteel & beautiful present you made him. He has the most grateful sense of it: & [...] offers his best acknowlegements. It came only last night. The delay was owing to the neglect of my carrier.
In the P.S. is a translation of Glyndwr's verses2 You will see that there is not much in them. In p [...] vol II. is as full an account as I could give of Pistill Rhaidr3 I am very happy in a print you sent me of that waterfall.
As you are silent about the house I gave you an account of I suspect it is not to your purpose. I wish it may be so for I have since learned that it is quite unfurnished. I shall be sorry
[...] should you have changed your mind about Wales
for many reasons. one is that I have an offer of another house ready furnished, & a place you very as well acquainted with
by description or Moses & I are bunglers. see Tower p. 399 of welsh tour vol. I.4
It belongs to a worthy young gentleman who married the heiress
but in may is going to reside at his own house, Leeswood see p.
[...] the same.5 I shall not put this letter6
