Lacock Nov^r 8^th 1847

Sir/

The Bridge N^o 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 N^o 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 N^o 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.
