Letter from Robert Ranson of Arlesey Siding, builder and contractor to John Ingman of Northampton, architect

22 Oct 1884

From: 1884 To: 1884

apologies for failing to meet him at Sharnbrook, overslept ‘and as the trains run so awkwardly I had not a chance to get in time to see you. Mr Long told me all that passed, as soon as he has scrapers and other things ready will complete the house' Postscript, Ranson thinks his estimate for extra work to the bays was £30; cost him quite £38, asks for help ‘I need hardly remind you the whole house has not been at all paying job’ lost quite £80. requests assistance ‘for I am in need of it’
