Sir

Permit me to acquaint you that repeated Complaints have been
made of the road on & at the foot of Chertsey Bridge on the Middx side which
for want of Gravel being laid at proper seasons of the Year is rendred
much out of repair & the Timbers belonging to the Bridge must suffer if
some Gravel be not laid as soon as may be to prevent any Injury
