Dr ^rSir

If you look into Powel page 210 You will find That Kyric & Eineon Evell were Twin Bastards to Madoc ap Meredydd ap Bleddyn, Prince of the lower powys, from him denominated Powys Fadoc; Evell signifies a Twin, Kynric had for his portion Eglwyseg, of which he is always Styled Lord. – M^r Salusbury in his account of the Eyton Family, styles him likewise Lord of Treuddyn & Molds dale, These Territories I have found elswhere [sic] ascribed to him & I suppose with some truth, as the Davies’s of Gwysaney the Eytons of Leeswood Wynnes of Tower &c in this neighbourhood are lineally descended from him. – The Historical account of the Battle at Tower¹ you have in English, it is likewise prefixd in welsh to one of these poems, but not extracted from them, as they contain nothing but a meer [sic] Rhapsody of Encomiums upon the Chieftain &c If I can pick any thing to your purpose out of them I will send it by saturday, I will wait of you assoon [sic] as I think myself able to venture out. This frosty weather agrees but indifferently with me I am, with my best Respects to M^rs & Miss Pennant & wishing you all a Happy new year

Your most obliged
Humble Sert &c
