of printing it. That, probably, was the reason why Mr Wm Morris did not send you a Copy of it. He can shortly send it in print, with Notes, Explanations, &c., which will be far better and more correct than I can send it at present. However, if you choose to have it from me, you shall and wellcome; only let me know so much in a line by Post, for I hope, that which I received is not to be both first and last. If it please God to lend me my life and health, I will find enough of that kind of diversion for you, especially if I could once be so happy as to get rid of the confinement of a School. I have now but very little time to spare (perhaps an hour or two in a day) and yet, notwithstanding, I keep up a pretty expensive correspondence. I make shift to write some new thing or other to Mr L. Morris, about every month. Some time ago I was wishing I had a Correspondence in London (besides my Patron, for he would do me no good,) that I might, if possible, be furnished with a few Books that would give me an insight into the Oriental Languages, I mean the Arabick and Syriack; for the Hebrew and Chaldee I have some smattering in. I have often heard that almost any Book may be had, and pretty reasonably, at the Booksellers' stalls in London. Now if you should by chance see an Arabick Grammar, &c., either buy it, or cheapen it, and let me know the price, I could easily send up the money by the Salop Waggon, [which goes to London every week,] and receive any parcel from thence back by the same for it comes within half a Mile of my house. I say if you should see such a book by chance, (for I would not put you to the least trouble in the World about it,) and secure it for me, I would remit the money immediately, and ever gratefully acknowledge the favour. And perhaps I might some time or other be able to compass the buying of a Polyglott Bible.—Mae genyf ryw awydd diwala i ddysgu cymmaint ag a allwyf, ond yma ni fedraf gael mo'r llyfrau i ddysgu dim a dalo i'w ddysgu.
