The above I fear will not suit your book. I never read anything so arbitrary as the boundary bill, they have added a great part of Margam <1> to Aberavon which will give me some votes but the addition is very unmeaning & absurd. one of the points of Aberavon is described as “that point in a stone fence which is immediately opposite a small round post: thence along said stone fence to the point at which the same meets a lane or path leading to a small cottage!
I send you the work on the curious abbey of Batalha on the Tajus which I think Aunt Lily would like to look at.
Ever Yours Affly
