Letter received from Mrs Gwen Owens, 1960, Llanrwst, discussing the offering practice at funerals and as an additon to the Welsh Folk Museum Answer Book submitted by her on the subject of death and burial. See MS 988/2.
Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum to individuals across Wales as a way of collecting and documenting information on aspects of folk culture in their areas, including agriculture, crafts, food, customs and dialects. The responses were hand-written in the books. The Answer Books had a similar purpose to the earlier questionnaires sent out in 1937.
