To Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal Co (A J Butler)
Wolverhampton
I cannot understand the tone of your letter. I have had 50 year's experience of canals and have always considered it of mutual advantage for managers to inform each other of anything obstructing traffic. The captain of my daughter's boat informed me of the state of the wharf when I asked him why he came with a light load. After heavy rains drift occurs and shallow places my recur. One should not ignore information from respectable boatmen.
