From John R Denyer
To Charles Jones
Siddington
Re culvert Mr Trinder is making on Miss Master’s property. He has no right to divert a stream or watercourse and cause loss or injury. Are hatches to be erected at the upper part of the meadow for irrigation or is the culvert for draining the land by gaining fall? Water admitted to the meadow would be lost to Gane’s Mill, passing into a lower level which Lord Bathurst would prevent. Let the facts be clearly ascertained and reported.
Some wheelbarrow board shall be forwarded. The spouts have been waiting for the heads and uprights which are cast iron and shall be sent on as soon as possible. The Boundary stones have been ordered. Payment of Chivers’ wages.
Aldum senior and family may move to Thames Head House.
Tell me when Simpson would remove the slates and repair roof of Kempsford Wharf. The carpenters will be there Monday to protect tenant’s furniture.
