Loosely inserted in volume one is a 2pp. ALS from Hannah More, dated May 30 1828, 'When young I read Don Quixote in English, I was not satisfied; I read it in French, still I was not satisfied; ?Pathes the famous spaniard came to England, he was my Master for the Spanish language - I read Don Quixote - I was not only satisfied but transported. I found in it not only all the wit ascribed to it but more wisdom than I ever found in any work of imagination. The pompous language so suited to the pompous hero! Such knowledge of the human heart! and such skill in displaying it I had not found before in any modern author. I am now not likely to look again into this incomparable book, indeed I do not read at all. I therefore take the liberty to make this small addition to your library, and am my dear sir, Yours very sincerely, Hannah More.', together with the recipient's 6pp. reply, on two sheets, folded.

Telford, Thomas.

Wathen, Knt.', folded, torn along central fold, a copy of the nisi prius, dated March 31st 1824, between Wathen and Haigh, 4pp. folded, and the award, dated 24th September, signed by Thomas Telford, 3pp., folded, torn (3) Disputes over water levels between mills were not infrequent. Gloucester Assizes found in favour of Joseph Wathen and Obediah Paul Wathen of Woodchester Mills and against Joseph Haigh of Rooksmoor Mills, awarding £500 damages and 40 shillings costs, but subject to the arbitration of William Montague (a local iron founder) and Thomas Telford. Montague and Telford confirmed the judgement in favour of the plaintiffs, but reduced the damages from £500 to £5. Furthermore, they directed that Haigh should construct a substantial weir at the 'north east angle of the Mill Pond' and a clear passage of water through or under the mill.
