"Carmarthen,
10 Jany., 1844.

My dear Sir,

I have had a letter from Sir James Graham empowering me to offer a reward of £100 for the detection of the incendiary who set fire to the stacks at Beynon's near Lanon. Will you be kind enough to have the bills printed at Llanelly, offering the reward by Government to any person who shall give such information and evidence as shall lead to the discovering and conviction of the incendiary or incendiaries and Her Majesty's most gracious pardon to an accomplice not being the person who actually set fire to the premesis, who shall give such information and evidence as shall lead to the same result.

Pray have you got any forwarder with the Ponthenry case?

Yours very truly,
Geo. Rice Trevor"
