And that puts me in mind that there is a curious account extant of the adventures of one of the old Welsh settlers in Pensilvania.

It is to be found in a letter in an old Welsh book.

The letter is dated 1705, and is from one Huw Jones, born of Welsh parents in Pensilvany country, to a cousin of his of the same name residing in the neighbourhood of this very town of Bala in Merionethshire, where you and I, Mr, now are.

It is in answer to certain inquiries made by the cousin, and is written in pure old Welsh language.

It gives an account of how the writer's father left this neighbourhood to go to Pensilvania; how he embarked on board the ship _William Pen_; how he was thirty weeks on the voyage from the Thames to the Delaware.
