'S.R.' broadsides,

Thirty-eight broadsides, etc., 1854-1884 and undated, most of them written by, or relating to, the Reverend Samuel Roberts ['S.R.'], Conway, and dealing with such matters as his claim against the United States Treasury, testimonials to him, sewerage, women's rights, etc. Written on the back of some of the printed sheets are over twenty letters and notes, 1868-1885 and undated, from 'S.R.' to his cousin, David Howell, supplementing the series contained in NLW MS 13195D. The main subject of the letters is 'S.R.'s work transcribing old sermons for Y Gofadail Fethodistaidd, Ail gyfrol (1884); also mentioned are visits from Mr. [? James] Griffiths, Cincinnati, son of the Reverend [Samuel] Griffiths, Horeb, co. Cardigan, with his wife and eldest daughter, 1883, and Professor Edward Arber of Mason College nr. Birmingham, 'a grandson of old G. Newell of Berriew', 1884. Neither the broadsides nor the letters are in chronological order but lists have been compiled for inclusion in the volume.
