Message:		Dear Mr. Hughes, These questions may be out of your realm as you're a Caernarfon historian, but am trying to find information on whether there was a medical facility or some sort of sick house at Bontuchaf in Bethesda. I have death records of ancestors listing that address as place of death but know these people did not actually live there. I'm also trying to learn the exact locations of the Persival Arms and the Quarry Hospital, both in Bethesda. I have tried writing to the Gwynedd Historical Society, but their website is down more than it is up. I thought I'd write to you in the hopes that, if you can't answer my questions, you might know of another historian with knowledge of Bethesda. As I live in the U.S., I can't get to the Archives in Caernarfon and I have exhausted all online resources including old maps and censuses. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you, Conni Evans
