Sir
Considering that all difficulties were settled and that
it was determined by Mr Saunders and Mr Floud, that I
should have an entrance to my coach house from the
vacant spot between Mrs Dacre’s garden and mine. Was
much impressed to hear from Mr C Bailey yesterday that
Mrs Dacres still refuses to give up a sufficient space
to run back a carriage, and has even gone so far as to
prevent you going on with the work, this I consider very
un-neighbourly, and very opposite to the way in which I
should have acted to her in similar circumstances, if
however she still persists in the refusal, and am
obliged to relinquish all idea of entrance from that
spot I do not think it will be acting with politeness to
the Gentlemen who have so kindly taken so much trouble
to do so without first acquainting them of it; I shall
therefore feel obliged on your calling on Mr Saunders
with my compliments and informing him of the difficulty
you have again had with Mrs Dacres and her determination
to keep possession of the whole of the spot in question,
and at the same time I wish you to say that rather than
be the cause of an altercation between the chamber and
Mrs Dacres or be the means of further trouble to him I
will if he thinks it most advisable give up the plan
altogether, and sacrifice my own garden by making
folding doors where the little door is at present,
leaving the Coach House against the city wall and I hope
at a future time when the proposed road is opened the
Chamber will not object to my altering the entrance to
making it where I first intended. I am glad to hear from
Mr C Bailey that my House is now so thoroughly dry and
comfortable. I shall feel obliged by your writing me as
soon as you have seen Mr Saunders as I wish to know his
opinion, when I hope you will be able to proceed with
and finish the work, without further interruption
I remain Sir
Yours &c
