To F E Gardiner, fish merchant
Stroud
I am sorry to have to complain but the Lock keeper at Dudbridge reports that your son who works at the Iron Works at Dudbridge has been damaging the Company's fence at the Lock house Dudbridge and when spoken to about it gave a wrong name. We had to make enquiries - please speak to him about this. It will cost 5s to repair the damage - material and man's wages.
