My dear Sir

I am afraid you will think me very troublesome in the way of plans – but I much want, if you can supply me with it, a tracing of the land adjoining you on the north side – being the land between Tacklemore Wood – & your Nethermore farm; with the names of the owners if there be any other than M^r Starkey –

The fact is there is great difficulty in the tramway – & as at present advised the route by the public path cannot be made available – & if I understand rightly none of the land on the north side of that road belongs to you – am I not right as to this according to the plan you were good enough to send me?

Yours faithfully
G Cottrell
