| Description | Letters from Logan Henderson from 1782 to 1785, and from 1788 to 1790. Logan Henderson was one of Boulton & Watt’s earliest engine erectors, working for them between 1776 and 1783. He made extensive visits to Cornwall, London, Ireland, Scotland the North East and elsewhere, and he supervised matters at Soho when Boulton and Watt were absent. In 1783 Henderson left Boulton & Watt acrimoniously after a trip to Ireland.
