From John R Denyer
To Mr Dunsford
Swindon

Summary

Two resolutions of the Committee made at meeting on 6 Aug. First, advantages of all parties stopping for general repairs at same time. Willing to fall in with any arrangements that may be made between the Wilts & Berks & Stroudwater, at the same time knowing the difficulty of keeping workmen in a proper state of sobriety etc I beg to suggest the propriety of avoiding if possible such periods as are severally kept as festivals by the “productive population”.
Second, regarding reduction in tonnage when carried in boats whose immediate preceding cargo has been coals or other articles passing through the canal.
