Content description
Wilcrick.
John Edwards to the Revd. Mr Cooke: he fears his previous letter must have gone astray, and creditors are unsatisfied because he has no authority to pay their bills. One of the College gouts has been presented at the Court of Sewers for enlargement, and Edwards thinks other landowners should pay towards the work. The Commissioners have been taking a view of the gouts by the mill which let Monkditch pill water into the sea; if the College does not rebuild the mill, one gout should suffice. He asks for instructions since both gouts need repair. A barn at Murbourn would be useful to house tithes paid in kind.
