| Alnwick parish Northd |
| – Copy – 5th Jany 1865 – |
| 9.12.65 – Col. Cameron – With reference to Mr Hollands letter |
| |
| in Sheet XXXI Six Inch Scale, Parish |
| of Alnwick – I enclose |
| extracts from the namebooks dated |
| 1863 – and I consider that our |
| orthography is preferable in instances |
| 2-6 – that instance 7 is open |
| to doubt – that Mr Holland’s |
| reasons for altering No 1 will |
| hold good for retaining No 1 and |
| that 4 & 5 the names of Bridges |
| may have been altered since 1863 |
| Signed G Sanford |
| Lt RE |
| Lt Sanford – Why do you think Hotteral |
| preferable to Hotterel ? |
| Signed J Cameron |
| Lt Col. RE |
| 12/12- |
| Col. Cameron- The choice is between Hotterel |
| & Hottorel and the verb appears |
| to be Hotter – I should think |
| Hotterel and Hotteral might |
| either be used if the vowel e |
| is retained |
| Signed G Sanford |
