Dear Sir
I have received Notice of the proposals to come before the next Meeting of the South-West Regional Canal Committee on the 4^th January.
Among the proposals is the elimination of the Junction Bridge which so far as I can see can only mean the Bridge which was erected by your Company to enable us to have through access to and from our Framilode Pound and other property of this Company.
