_Loggerheads_ (Vol. v., p. 338.; and Vol. vii., pp. 192-3.).--Your

correspondent CAMBRENSIS, whose communication on this subject I have

read with much interest, will excuse my correcting him in one or two

minor points of his narrative. The little wayside inn at Llanverres,

rendered famous by the genius of the painter Wilson, is still standing

in its original position, on the _left_-hand of the road as you pass

through that village to Ruthin. Woodward, who was landlord of the inn at

the time Wilson frequented it, survived his friend about {365} sixteen

years, leaving six children (two sons and four daughters), none of whom

however, as CAMBRENSIS surmises, succeeded him as landlord. His widow

shortly afterwards married Edward Griffiths, a man many years her

Junior, and who, at the period CAMBRENSIS alludes to, and for a lone

time previous, was "mine host" of the "Loggerheads." Griffiths died

about three years ago, after amassing a large property by mining

speculations in the neighbourhood. There are, I believe, several fine

paintings by Wilson in the new hall of Colomendy, now the residence of

the relict of Col. Garnons. The old house, where Wilson lived, was taken

down about thirty years ago, to make way for the present structure.
