This letter was written by William Morgan from Tredegar, to be delivered to the house of Mr Evan Hopgood, merchant, in Lothbury near the Royal Exchange, London.

William Morgan is sorry to hear from many sources of his wife's very bad distempers [medical or mental illness]. He would not want anything that could be done, not to be done, and asks that his brother take the advice of physicians. He advises that, before anything is put into execution, his brother consults with and has the approval of her own relations.
