Photocopy of a letter from B.O. Jones, Aelfryn House, Trefor, Caernarfonshire, to Mr. [R.H.] Edwards, Bodafon Isaf, Penrhosllugwy, Anglesey, 8 July 1908. According to this letter, many skilful artists, including a Polish refugee called Mr. Lyons and Mr. Wm. Griffith later of Portmadoc, were employed by 'the over-shrewd the late Mr. H. Hymphreys of Carnarvon' circa 1875 in copying original portraits of great Welshmen. The writer refers to an original portrait of Lewis Morris copied by the said Mr. Lyons and notes that the two artists, Mr. Lyons and Mr. Wm. Griffith, were amongst those who exhumed the skull of Lewis Morris.
