Lacock Novr 8th 1847
Sir/
The Bridge No 8 at Wick Farm, is built according to the dimensions shown on the drawing but is not completed – the Parapets being yet to be built – Wing Walls to be finished and coping to be put on
The Bridge No 3 is according to the drawing, except being 3 Inches lower – when I saw it last Month the Arch was 17 ft 9 In high, but it has since been lowered 1 foot which brings it 3 Inches under the dimensions given in the drawing
The other dimensions as far as I can ascertain are correct. – This Bridge, as well as No 5. has yet to have the Coping put on the Wing Walls and Parapets
All the Bridges are built with good Materials, and in a strong and Workmanlike manner.
