  • Hugh Williams, drover of Tai Duon, Cricieth, writes to his parents from Canterbury or 'Cantrabery' in 1837. He says that he will not be able to return home in time for the All Saints' Day fair as he must wait until the fairs at Canterbury are over. In the meantime, he tells his parents to employ 'Jac bach' until he returns. He will return within the week in the company of John Roberts, Bwlchderwin.
