From John R Denyer
To W Whitworth
Stanley, nr Chippenham, Wilts.
Your boat Greyhound passed today with 20 tons of salt on board. The steerer stated that, owing to being detained longer at Stoke and having incurred a £1 penalty on the Gloucester & Berkeley Canal, he had not sufficient money left to pay our dues. I allowed £1 to remain due.
