| Description | They have not yet received the counter Matthew Boulton promised for the Gregory mine engine. There is little work for the engine at present. His father is still ill.
On the same sheet: Draft of letter. Matthew Boulton to William Milnes Jr. — Sep. 1781. Had hoped to send the counter with one of their men. Matthew Boulton will bring it on his way to Rotherham. Has sent another to them by coach. Sorry to hear about Milnes’ father – jaundice is not serious if treated in time and William Junior should take further advice. |
