Scope and Content

Typescript copies of English versions of letters contributed to the correspondence column of Y Goleuad, September 1910 - January 1911, by D. E. Jenkins and 'Nodwr', setting forth their conflicting views in a controversy relating to the journey made by Mary Jones [of Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, co. Merioneth] to Bala in 1800 to obtain a Welsh Bible from the Reverend Thomas Charles, and the alleged connection between this episode and the subsequent foundation of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The controversy relates more particularly to the account of the Mary Jones story given in Robert Oliver Rees [:Mary Jones, y Gymraes Fechan heb yr un Beibl, a Sefydliad y Feibl-Gymdeithas (Wrexham, ?1879)].
