(on the backs of postcards)

Llangoed to Lydiate, June 1921:
     "Llangoed is absolutely it."


Gwalchmai to Llanbedr RSO, June 1905: "Heard Evan Roberts preach today. 39 converts."

Holyhead to Liverpool, October 1907: "Just a postcard to tell you we shall be in Liverpool tonight about seven."

Rhayader to Criccieth, June 1916: "Am getting to like here alright now. Last week I thought it was a miserable hole."

Lampeter to Bangor, February 1912: "It is fearfully cold here. All the water in the bedroom jug was frozen hard this morning. Porter's teapot froze up yesterday."

Dolgellau to Salford, July 1908: "Having lovely weather so far (liar!)."
