Description

Here is another letter Erie had sent Hope about family information. Erie found a book on Genealogy but there wasn't information on Guythers but rather on the Gwynn family. The Gwydir family is said to have branched off of Gwynns at some point in the distant past. He talks a bit about other books of note before delving into the history of travel for a time after the Romans built roads. Apparently the Romans didn't do much upkeep on their roads which lead to coastal travel being more preferable.
