A lock of the late John Wesley's hair. It was given to me by Mrs. Davies, wife of the rector of Vaynor on Monday Feb. 13-1905. Her grandparents were friends of JW and after the death of her parents the weird heir-loom came into her possession. She vouches for its genuineness Griffiths Thomas Feb. 13. 1905
