| Description | Mid-dated as 1797 by Gregory. Details of the problems of Pednandrea mine. Visit to United Mines. Attended the Wherry account – their cobalt is becoming more scarce. They rejected paying Boulton & Watt’s premium. Attended the Wheal Jewel account – they will pay but only if William Murdock erected the engine, as “it is notorious all over the county that he is going to Soho”. Has told Mr. Pearson to return to Soho. Does not know when Murdock will leave. Cannot answer M. R. Boulton’s query about a cassoon. |
