"Hyde Park Gardens,
13 Feb., 1844.

My dear Sir,

I am sorry to find I have not, as I expected, a Metropolitan Policeman to spare when I offered to place another at Pontardulais, Colonel Love having inadvertenly left out the man who is stationed at Pontyberem from the list he sent me. I hope, however, that as things seem so much quieter, and as there is so much help close at hand, and thro' the Police, Notices ought so easily be given of any attempt at meetings, you will not require any addition to be made to the one London and one Rural policeman at Pontardulais.

Your account of stores purchased for the Troops at Llanelly goes to the Board of Ordnance to-morrow, as that is a Board today.

The item for fitting up the building must go to Sir James Graham, and will have to be placed before the Lords of the Treasury.

Yours very truly,
Geo. Rice Trevor."
