I beg to appeal, on behalf of the Committee, for local support and patronage to make the forthcoming Eisteddfod a success. — Yours, &c.,

To the General Secretary of the Ammanford Chair Eisteddfod.

Dear Sir, — Will you kindly submit my thanks to the above Committee, as I feel very proud that somebody is preparing for us when returning home from the firing line after doing our little bit.

To come home and receive £1 per month from the above Committee will be very handy at the present time. Again thanking you. – Yours sincerely.
