To Webb & Spring, timber merchants
Ebley
You have refused to pay rent charges. The Company's solicitors say that the land at Ryeford has nothing to do with the rents. You boat will not be allowed to use the canal if you don't pay the messenger I send on Monday. This letter is notice that we can take possession of the land at Ryeford as per your lease. If you do not pay the due 23s on Monday proceedings will be taken to recover the same.
