| Description | Letters from James Murdock from 1788 to 1795. James, brother of William Murdock, worked for Boulton & Watt as an engine erector. He worked at various places around the country, and in 1793 he was sent to erect an engine in Cadiz, Spain. He was dismissed on his return in 1795 for misconduct during his time there.
