To Severn Fishery Board (J Stallard)
Worcester
The Committee of the Stroudwater Navigation would be willing to accept a rental of £15: per annum for the right of fishing (rod and line only) on the Company's Canal (subject to the existing current licences to certain individuals granted prior to the proposed lease) on the conditions of a lease to be prepared by their solicitor at the expense of the Board. Please respond as soon as possible as to the terms of lease etc. Of course your board would charge anglers not less than 3s per annum (our present 2s 6d and your 6d) and not less than 1s for a "visitor's ticket"" for one or two weeks. Otherwise on the determination of the lease to your board the Company would find a difficulty in re-establishing its present scale of charges. Thanks for the copy of the order which I enclose. "
