I forgot to refer to the contents of your last letter.

You make too much of your fault, dear father, you have made a cornstack of a barleymow.

I am only sorry you have published it abroad as you have done.

You need only have confessed to God, or if you wanted to do more, I am an ordained priest.

I can't imagine why you did not ask Gwilym to lend you the money; at all events you returned it as soon as you could.
