I have much pleasure in informing you that Mr Green Emmott would be glad to present the township of Haworth with the small plots of enclosed land situated in the road known as Mytholmes Lane with a view to enabling the Council to improve the amenities of the street, which somewhat restricted at the present time owing to the existence of this enclosure. I may add that it is a special pleasure to Mr Green Emmott to be able to make this gift through you in your dual capacity as tenant on his estate, and Chairman of the Haworth Council, and he will be pleased if you will advise the Council of this gift, at their next meeting.
