TitleLetter. Henry Coates (Hull) to James Watt [Birmingham].
LevelItem
Date1 Dec 1783
DescriptionDocketed "With drawings of mill." Sends a plan of his mill drawn by Richard Savage [now in Portfolio 5/1]. The estimate is rather expensive, but the main obstacle is the annual premium – can James Watt charge them the same as their neighbour? Will Boulton & Watt’s engine erector stay to teach Coates’ men about the engine? Can they buy off the annuity? They will probably need 6 horse power.
