From John R Denyer
To C Jones
Old Crown, Cirencester
Received news from Meacham that only 3ft 7½ins water in Summit level at Daneway. Directed boats to load to full depth of 3ft 6ins and water must be put in canal to carry them at that depth or some sufficient reason given why it cannot.
Boats ready to enter Tunnel tomorrow at 12.
