Llwyd ap Iwan writes to thank his brother-in-law, Professor Thomas Rhys, for his letters. He says that he has difficulty in finding time to write, and, when he has some leisure time, he chooses to read. He believes that the Tract Society had published some good books and it appears to him that views relating to religion had changed greatly in Wales. He wishes to return to Wales in order to acquire 'fresh and enlightened' literature on these subjects. Having noted some books which he has read, he asks for photographs of the children and the whole family. He also enquires after Lewis Jones and his family, and Ceinion Thomas and his wife.
