To Mr R. Parker
Witney, Oxon
It is intended to reduce tonnage on Salt passing in one bottom in quantities of not less than thirty tons to Newbridge and below, on Thames at same rate as on Wilts & Berks to or beyond Abingdon. At present in either case rate is half the full parliamentary rate.
Sorry to observe so few of your salt boats passing this way, the water in Canal never to my knowledge having been better this season & therefore confident this not arise due to our deficiency.
