Dear Sir
I find Pugh is at Newport
I would say he ought to be kept
by himself : what I mean I would
not let his Wife or John Thomas the
Constable see him until after I
come down, if you should examine
him press hard to know who the
Delegates from the Lodges where
with him & Frost on the Friday
at his House at Dinner. I shall
remain in the Neighbourhood here to
Day to try to get information
and be at Newport early to Morrow

I will explain when I come
down I am D_r Sir
