| Description | London, July 13th, 1809.
Mr. William Cheshire.
Sir,
Supposing your agreement with the bricklayer to be clearly understood, and the arrangement for preserving the timber, glass, &c., to be properly made, the houses on the intended site of the garden may be pulled down. It will of course be essential to see that due care is observed in taking them down, with the view to the preservation of the materials mentioned above. They should also be deposited in some situation where they may be secure from injury and depredation.
By this evening’s coach a parcel will be forwarded to your address, with the several articles for the tandem, which you will please to examine by comparing them with a list in Mr. Philp’s possession. The cloath is also sent with them, which, together with the brass sockets for the shafts, the straps, &c., belonging to the shafts, splinter bars, &c., I beg you to transmit without delay to Mr. Clay and request him to use every diligence in getting them fixed into their place and the tandem returned. The other articles are to be put on to the respective parts of the harness by the sadler, who should be sent for without delay, that the job may be got out of hand.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
M. Robn. Boulton |
