From John R Denyer
To John Disney
The Hyde, Ingatestone, Essex
Railway from Cheltenham to Swindon more to be feared in competition with Canal as a main line for branches than as a direct line to London e.g. railroad from Coalpit Heath through Sodbury into the Cheltenham & Swindon.
Land carrier will generally feel effects of railroads more than water carrier. T&S Company acted very injudiciously in agreeing to terms of Bill.
