Letter from Thomas Humphreys to his sister, 15 October 1840 (transcript)

Llaneuddog. Oct. 15th 1840

Dear Sister

I have received your letter this morning – also I have received Twelve pounds from the Amlwch Bank for which I feel greatly obliged to you – You have done every thing right and I have received them safely – I had put the letter in the post yesterday before I received your letter today – and I thought that I had better write to you for afraid of you being uneasy thinking that I did not receive them. I shall be sure (if live and well) to come and see you the beginning of May next when I return from the College, and if I can possibly meet with a place I shall stop there for next summer, and attend the Royal Infirmary untill I have complete my studies – I imagine also that Manchester would be a very good place to set up in business as I am not aware of any Doctor there being a Welshman – and I believe there are about thirty thousand Welsh Inhabitants in it. I think going to the college by way of Gwrych, and to take Charles home at the same time. I shall wright to you again as soon as I shall arrive at Edinburgh – Catherine Jones, Glybcoed is courting very warmly with Edward Owen of Tyn y llwyn – and Mary desired me to tell you that Evan Frwd fadog is paying his addresses to her – and that he is now a Captain of a large Vessel – also Margaret has been courting in a late wedding with Isaac Jones Esqr. of Velin Bach an Attorney at Law – I had great pains to prevent them from burning this letter after they knew what I have said about them – All desire to be kindly remembered to you and all your friends and relations – wishing you much health
