1 September 1835.
Dear Sir,
I had an Opportunity of inquiring from Colonel Steward on Friday, respecting the floating right claimed by Mr James Turner's Tenant Wilkins, and he informed me that the Privilege was enjoyed during the time he resided at Winson Green much in the same way it is now. I have not seen Buckle since you left Soho.
I rather expect The Canal Company have an Intention of restoring the Smethwick Reservoir with certain Alterations not yet determined upon. Mr Freeth thinks it may be used to supply the New Titford Branch about to be made. I have requested that the Company's Engineer may previously satisfy Mr Buckle that the Water in The Thimble Mill and Blue Gates Streams will not in any respect be prejudiced.
Mr James has made his Award between Mr Robinson and Mr Chambers, and has determined that £1. 7. 6 is due to the latter on the balance of accounts.
I took the Liberty of occupying part of your Pew in Handsworth Church on Sunday last on the Occasion of the late Dr Gibson's funeral Sermon . Mr Watt was present.
Believe me to remain, Dear Sir,
very faithfully yours
Clemt. Ingleby
