"Carmarthen, 28 October, 1843.
My dear Sir,
The contract for building the Barracks at Carmarthen is now about to be drawn, and the work will be immediately commenced. I have therefore to request that your subscription be paid into the hands of Messrs. Morris or the Messrs. Wilkins with the least possible delay.
I am, my dear Sir, Your most obedient Servant Geo. Rice-Trevor, Vice-Lt."
