Letter to Gwynfryn from Jeremiah Jones, asking for help.

Borth, March 30 1854

Madam,

I humbly beg leave to state my case before as I wish to be there very much, I hope against this time that the ships came, that I may have the favour of playing a little to you again, I would stay as long as you please and as short as you please - as I am reduced to a very very low circumstances - my old woman is in bed entirely since three weeks ago, and we have nobody but ourselves at present - we are very poor indeed no meat in the house at all these days only a few crusts that I can have about the village here and am obliged to walk about there foot-bare and in a most starving condition - my harp also is broken since that frosty weather when I was striving to go to Croxwood and by going down Llanbadarn hill I fell and broke my harp so that it is all gone.

I humbly beg you will sympathyze me at present

I am Madam, yours truly

Jeremiah Jones
