Biographical/Historical note
Philip David was a seven year old schoolboy, living in Cardiff. His father was Philip David Senior, a noncomformist, and grand-master of the Castell Caerdydd Odd Fellow Lodge in Cardiff.
Llewellin Thomas was a first cousin to the young Philip David. Llewellin was nine years old, and a schoolboy living in Pontypool. He was the eldest son of Dr. Thomas Thomas, who was the President of the Baptist College at Penygarn near Pontypool, and Pastor of the English Baptist Church which met at the Quaker's meeting house at Trosnant.
It is a point of interest that the young Philip David died several months later after writing this letter.
