Address: Llanover, [Monmouthshire]. To [?Frederick G Saunders], Secretary, Great Western Railway Company. Complains about the inadequacy of the current rail facilities and service: '... and the inhabitants of this district will still be shut out from all communication with Bristol'. The journey from London now took 6 hours and 40 minutes: 'I must observe that before the amalgamation was completed we could run up to London in far less time and since the amalgamation the great inconveniences have arisen'.
