Cambs., has the MS. autobiography of John Evans, half-brother to our author, and from it he has supplied me with some interesting facts. I hope Mr. James may be induced to publish this interesting document. The Rev. D. E. Williams, present rector of Llangamarch, who by a curious coincidence is married to a descendant of the Bevans of Gelligaled, got Archdeacon Williams' version of the inscription collated with that on the tombstone at Llangamarch. It is here printed letter for letter, word for word, and line for line as it appears on the gravestone. Mr. Henry Silvan Evans and others have been good enough to answer enquiries addressed to them in connection with the work.
The woodcut of Penywenallt is from a photograph specially taken at my request by P. C. Jones, of Adpar, Newcastle-Emlyn. He readily made a special journey to the place for the purpose. Finally, as often happens in work of this kind, much investigation conducted by me, or on my behalf, often resulted in no tangible result.
