I would like to thank everyone who helped me by translating the letter my greatgrandmother wrote to her son in the USA about the sad death of her other son, my grandfather. It was very interesting to see the various translations, all similar but none identical. In particular I thank Elizabeth of EMGS Demon  account, Yvonne Evans, Glyn Davies and Maureen Saycell. I have sent all the various translations to descendants of the son in the USA. Thank you all very much. It might interest you to know that my contact in the States has now found a newspaper account of my grandfather's life and work  in a journal called "Y Tyst" and in another called "Cronicl Annibynwyr Llanbrynmair a'r Cylch".  These are rather long articles and I hesitate to ask anyone to translate them for me without payment for their trouble.
