Handwritten letter from Messrs Moule & Gore to Mr Ludlow Bruges

Melksham 12th June 1846
Dear Sirs

WS & W Railway
Melksham Road

We have this day received a letter from Mr Ward in which he says that "His recollection of the conversation with Mr Gore perfectly coincided with our" and that "The Company have carried out the terms of the agreement entered into, before the Act in as much as Mr Blandford authorized by the TP commissioners has agreed on their behalf to the manner of constructing the road now proposed, certain modifications upon the original plan suggested by him having been assented to by the company" he also adds 11that r Brunel agreed and Mr Bruges thought
it an ample sum to give £20 - to cover the preliminary expenses of the Commissioners" We hope this information wi11 be satisfactory to the Trustees.

We are, Dear Sirs Yours very truly
HG & Justly N Awdry

Messrs Maule & Gore
