Sir
Recent circumstances having made it necessary for the Gloster & Berkeley Canal Company to continue to have the use of the Stroudwater Navigation for taking water from the Froom River for the supply of their Canal, and it appearing that the Communications made to you relative to this subject in the Month of December 1832, and the Month of March last, were not deemed satisfactory to the Stroudwater Company,, I have now by Order of the Committee of the Gloster & Berkeley Canal Company to request you will move the Stroudwater Company to allow water to be take water as above mentioned and in consideration of their doing so the Gloster & Berkeley Canal Company hereby undertake to remove the Silt & Mud that may accumulate from any mode adopted for the taking of such supply, & to indemnify the Stroudwater Company from any consequences that may result from such permission being given by the Stroud Canal Company, & to express it as distinctly understood by the Gloster & Berkeley Canal Company that the grant of such permission is regarded only as a permission during pleasure, and in no respect as an independent right
I am Sir ...

PS On behalf of the Commissioners appointed by the Exchequer Bill Loan Acts, I beg to express that the above Letter has in all respects m full concurrence.
