| Description | Letters from Matthew Boulton to Matthew Robinson Boulton and James Watt Jr. from 1796. The bundle also includes one letter from Boulton to James Watt, which Watt forwarded to M. R. Boulton. M. R. Boulton and Watt Jr. docketed these letters with Matthew Boulton’s name and the date of the letter. At a later date Gregory Watt added summaries of the contents once the letters had been brought together to form a bundle. The only exceptions are the final two letters from Boulton to Watt Jr., which Watt Jr. summarised himself.
Henry Hazleton summarised the letters in the 1890s, and his summaries have also been transcribed. |
