All that came to me from his estate, however, was a sum of about eleven thousand pounds.

This used to bring me in about five hundred pounds a year, and in addition to that was the fluctuating two hundred and fifty pounds income from my benefice.

I took about three thousand pounds out of my capital to pay the debts you ran up, to article you to Mr.Praed; and, I must admit, to get my "Tales from Taliessin" and "Legends of the Welsh Saints" privately printed at Cardiff.

I am afraid I wasted much good money on the desire to see my Cymraeg studies in print.
Well: there I am! with about eight or nine thousand pounds to leave.

I have not altered my will--leaving it all to you, subject to an annuity of L50 a year to your faithful Nannie.
I was projecting an alteration in case of your death, when you most happily returned.
