Summary:

Spent her visit to Dolecothy, [Glamorganshire], hunting for curiosities but there were few scarce plants and no lichens or insects. The caves very curious, her father thinks they were used by the Romans. Sending drawing of "some curious gold things" found there in a field above the house [drawing shows pieces of jewellery, including ring, brooches, and chain, probably drawn by Mr Trossavelli].
