I understand you called
at this office sometime ago
and that you expressed a
desire to have the name
of the village of Durhamville [underlined]
changed to another name,

established and besides it being your
own property, there can be no
objection to write on the Ordnance Plan
the name you with to give this place. -
Will you therefore please state

you would recommend to be written
on the ordnance Plans. -
