Letter Four - Brutus Lloyd

Date of letter: April 1876. Poor Law Union: Llanfyllin Poor Law Union
CIRCUMTEXT:
Mr Murray Brown AB 13 Apl /76
I have retained the pp until I visited the Workh. which I did to-day. Brutus Lloyd is not, & was not at the date of the letter an inmate of the Workhouse: nor as I am informed is he in receipt of out-relief. It is clear from the previous pp that no reliance can be placed on anything he says.
TEXT:
