Notes:

Mailing to commemorate the first Welsh settlement in Lower Merion and Narberth.

"In August 1862, the Welsh Quakers arrived in what is now Lower Merion and Narberth. They were seeking a home in the New World, which they had christened The Welsh Tract. These Merioneth Adventurers from the County of Merionethshire in the North of Wales, were part of William Penn's vision of the Holy Experiment in which the persecuted peoples of the Old World could find refuge in a land of promise and new beginnings."--Back cover.
