| Description | The final part of this letter including the address has been cut away. Lack of cash in Newcastle – fortunately Boulton Watt & Co.’s claims there are trifling. James Lawson has gone to Peckover & Bellamy’s engine at Wisbeach, therefore they have sent William Murdock to Manchester to sort out difficulties there – Gregory Watt may call on him. John Holme’s complaints about his extinguishing apparatus, and “bad job” of Hope’s Tenants’ engine, both of which were done by Gemmel. If Gregory Watt goes to Manchester, can he sign the deed of release for McCandlish’s estate. John Irving, who says he knows Gregory Watt from the Continent, is there. |
