From John R Denyer
To Mr Parker
Witney, Oxon
To avoid as much as possible any obstruction in boats passing the Tunnel, propose allowing boats from Brimscombe 5 hours to go through & from the other end only 3 instead of 4 hours the large Boats being always loaded from Brimscombe would then have no excuse & the same on their return when they are generally empty or nearly so & it does not appear reasonable that a loaded Boat should have more time than an empty one.
