Surprised no increase in water of the summit, 3ft 3ins. Request greater supply, by purchase or extra working the Engine, or both, to enable boats to navigate as deep as can be maintained. I hope no further necessity of further flying to the summit this season for a supply up the valley – the reservoir, valley pond and Whitehall being nearly full.
Feel it my duty to remind you not to keep more men in your employ than safety of Canal requires during approaching Winter, rather have a greater number in the Spring.
