Complaints that the Welsh churches are begging too much—tickets to tea parties, lectures. Sons of the late William Morgan of Birmingham who was a minster with the Welsh Presbyterians are now living on the South Side—"Skip," a member of the Town Council and Thomas, a policeman under Lyon, our new Mayor. Diamond St. has be changed lately. Sunday weddings. Judge Kirkpatrick of Allegheny is popular because he praises everyone and everything. Smallpox. Churches full on Easter with people wanting to hear good singing. The most famous Welshmen in Pittsburgh are bald--T. W. Davies , Gwyndaf [Bardic name]; old man Jones, Evan Jones, the contractor and others, the mayor says he is going to close the taverns on Sunday so men should get enough to drink on Saturday night & ext. Iron works working night and day. DIGON GWIR
