Mountjoy Dear Sir/
Yours 31st ult to hand offering to
contribute half towards cost of erecting
a substantial wooden fence in lieu of
the wall. In reply we have to say that
this would not be at all reasnable or
just to us. As we have in contemplation
the erection of a building on this ground
using the large walls to support metal
girders carrying roof. It would therefore
be necessary for us later on to rebuild
the wall pulled down by your ivy and
the cost of so doing will be very consider-
-able and we think you are entitled to
make us a reasonable contribution towards
the cost of doing this work of rebuilding
which we estimate roughly would be
about £50. We are anxious to get this
settled and would be willing to accept
a reasonable sum say £25, to end the
matter, and trust Prisons Board will act
in fair and reasonable way and agree
to this. Yours faithfully N C L Ltd
