Evan Lloyd letters,

A volume (watermark 1832), containing transcripts, [1832x1845], in an unknown hand, of correspondence, 1763-1774, of Evan Lloyd, the poet and satirist of Frondderw, Bala.
The transcripts include twelve letters from Lloyd to a number of correspondents, including his father John, 1763-1769 (ff. 9 recto-verso, 14 verso-18 verso, 21-24, 28 verso-29), his brother Robert, 1763-1768 (ff. 10 verso-12, 27 recto-verso), William Price, Rhiwlas, 1768 (ff. 25-26), and David Garrick, [1770x1774] (ff. 54 verso-56 verso), together with thirteen letters addressed to Lloyd from Garrick, [1764]-1774 (ff. 13 recto-verso, 36 verso-37, 46-47 verso), Sir John Fielding, 1769-[1771] (ff. 30, 35-36), William Vaughan, Corsygedol, 1770 (ff. 33 verso-34), J[ohn] Curre [of Itton Court], [?1766]-[?1773] (ff. 38-39 verso, 50-53 verso), and others. Also included are transcripts of poems by Lloyd (ff. 40-44), an epitaph by Garrick for William Hogarth (f. 37) and a 1784 letter from Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, to a Mr Evans (f. 45). The letters are not amongst those reproduced in Cecil Price, 'The Unpublished Letters of Evan Lloyd', National Library of Wales Journal, 8 (1953-54), 264-305, 426-448. Each letter bears a note stating that the transcript was 'copied from the original in the possession of Wm Roberts Esqr Surgeon Carnarvon', and each bears the signature of 'O. Jones' (probably Owen Jones, general agent, who was town steward of Caernarfon, 1835-1850).
