| Description | The young man recommended as a colliery agent has had an offer from Wales. The engine carpenter has had an offer from James Bateman which he has accepted as he has to support his family. James Armitage is happy to work for Boulton & Watt – he will have more chance of learning drawing in Birmingham as there are no "Masters" at Seaton. On the same sheet: Letter. Richard Dearman [Birmingham] to James Watt (Harper’s Hill). 2 Jul. 1782. Is sorry that the carpenter is employed, as he would have been useful to Boulton & Watt. |
