1807 Request to transport manure
From Peter Daniell to William Lambert White
Clearly one of the most unusual items in my collection, this is a brief note from Peter Daniell of Pen House, to his neighbour, Yeovil solicitor William Lambert White, requesting permission to transport manure across the land of the latter.
Will Mr White
have the
goodness to
permit Mr
Daniell to draw
some manure
across Pen Hill
to his field
called Pen
Linches.
