From John R Denyer
To G. Palmer Esq
You will be pleased to observe that as little as possible is transacted or money received at any other place than this (ie Brimscombe) to prevent accidents, local business excepted.
(Discussion regarding intended meaning of wording in official document)
Not expect anything very serious as to expense or stoppage of Canal due to Tunnel. A passing place would be of only very partial advantage by imagining 2 or 3 boats each way meeting.
