For Peter Atherton and company. Cotton mill, Liverpool. Atherton delayed the engine in Jun. 1796, and a memorandum sent to James Lawson in May 1798 [Business Letter Book Jul. 1797-Jul. 1798] makes it clear that the engine had been countermanded. Atherton was charged £50 for the materials that had already been prepared.
