From Harry Harford
To J R Denyer
Brimscombe Port
Watchmen’s wages increased one shilling a week.
Mr Pitt did not call.
Thomas Hipsley’s salary to be equally divided between the Proprietors and the coal concern.
Always advisable to advance the price of coal at Lechlade.
Most of the iron masters have houses in town, making it an easy matter for Mr Miller or Mr Wyatt to call on them.
The Committee think they ought to know the view of the Board of Commissioners in London re the Property Tax before any payment is made.
The Committee hope that the Forest railways will soon be completed, as Mr Loveden mentions, at a price to encourage large importations.
Great improvement necessary at Sutton Lock.
