DescriptionHas not yet got the drawings of the cotton machinery. Sends a rough plan of his Foundry so Matthew Boulton can judge if he has room for a steam engine. Now thinks a more powerful engine might be better than the size they discussed – can Matthew Boulton send the terms for various sizes of engine. Would the smoke from the engine cause a nuisance?
