From John R Denyer
To J S Salt
London

Summary

Enclosed halves of Sundry Cash notes, remaining by coach. Corresponding halves cash notes remitted by post.
Should present heavy rain continue for 12 hours, chance the springs again moved.
A strange sensation has been created along the line of Canal by the report of one of Mr Parker’s Captains having died of Cholera Morbus on board one of his boats on the Thames on the passage to Abingdon that the man is dead & that his ultimate complaint was cholera is quite certain but of the fourteen medical men that saw him not one ventured to call it Asiatic Cholera & I sincerely hope their opinion is correct.
