Llwyd ap Iwan begins this letter to his family by noting that a long time has passed since they have been in touch. He recently received a copy of E. Pan Jones's biography of his father, as well as a photograph of his father's grave. He has not written to thank E. Pan Jones yet, as he is still rather offended by the somewhat plain appearance of the volume. He asks what is the general opinion of the book. He has seen a note from O. M. Edwards which is not particularly complimentary.

He recently heard from his brother, Mihangel: both he and his wife had been unwell recently. Llwyd says that they have had a hard winter in the Andes, but it was no worse than the winters in the Chubut valley. He asks Rhys to send him some fishing flies, of the type which he uses to catch trout, as well as some fishing lines.
