From John R Denyer
To Thomas Hipsley
Lechlade
A pleasure boat with 3 Gentlemen passed yesterday with ticket signed by you for £3. This not half the tonnage due. They said would meet the business in Shire Hall at Gloucester than pay more. They should have paid £6 11s 3d. I have their names and address & shall apply for recovery of the £3 11s 3d which they say they will repel by a statement of the facts to the T&S Co. & if necessary by meeting an action at Gloucester which I have no doubt they will being of known respectability and property and my own opinion is they are right…
The Company certainly cannot lose the £3 11s 3d.
