Doesn't look like it will be very easy to find. Let me know if you find a copy anywhere...I wouldn't mind one too

Hi. I hadnt seen that letter. Thank you, I may have to buy that book now. LOL. Yes I assume that was him because of the "Lame Welshman" reference.

Just realised I should be searching Cymro Cloff. Is this letter written by him?

Hi. Well I was Lucky. My GGG Grandfather was Richard Jones, A published poet so there was already information out there. I found the ship manifest on Ancestory.com. They came from Brecon, and settled in Waukesha, Wisconsin. One of his sons moved to Burt County Nebraska and then out to Waterville Washington.

S'mae John....diolch for sharing. These are fascinating and well preserved documents. Presumably they tell the story of your ancestors migration to the US. Care to tell us a bit more about the background?
Found a few copies on AbeBooks here :-
