Dear Dad and Mam

Just a line hoping you are in good health. I am fairly well again now the disentry (dysentry) has nearly gone. I sent you a letter on Friday, hope you received it alright. Have not received one myself yet. I was at a lecture by the Chaplin on Wednesday night on The Song of Solomon. He gives a lecture every week. One week we had one on Job, another on Amos and one on Jonah and we have had a few others I don’t remember. He is very good in these lectures he criticizes the subject in different points and explains it all to us so that it makes it very interesting. There is a good crowd goes to hear him speak, he is very popular. His sermon on on Sunday night was “Wanted a Man” you can guess it was a good sermon. It is very little I have got to say this time, have got no news whatever. I wish I could get a letter from you, I should like to know how you all are. How is Dyfan and Mailys, give my love to them. Tell them I should like to see them and you all very much. Hope Mam and Dad are in the best of health. I am alright. With best wishes and love.

From your son

Goronway
