Dear Sir
I wrote to you on Sunday first instance since which I have received your favour of the 28th ultimate now big leave to be very short as it is near 10:00 PM and I have little news to tell you I have talked to Jonathan Smith today about going to Cornwall but he seems unwilling however if you write me that the timber is arrived and that you are in want of him he shall come I will write to Hadley but I have my fears he cannot leave his present business in a great hurry but I think right would instantly abhay your summons and the more apostles we have the more that true faith will be propagated I shall send off rob Cameron and two others on Friday morning the great rotation engine is finished and I expected the union between it and the little engine would have been performed this evening but it can't be till tomorrow Robert set the electric out so true that it had no shape and required no alteration it goes so much better than the little model made by Joseph that I don't now ashamed to send the little one the great model makes a delightfull on the horizontal foot love I gave it a few strokes with my foot and it made 30 revolutions after I considered now it's an that it in a quiet and peaceable moment which shows how steady and frictionless cities I had a good opinion of it from that little model but have a better since the large model is finished I refer you to Robert for further particulars and after you have talked with him I hope you'll think as I do that is necessary to secure it by a patent and that without further loss of time I died yesterday at the lunar SoC kias there was Blair Priestley withering galton and an American rebel Mr. Collins nothing new except some of my white specials iron ore was found to contain more air than any or priestly Letter. Matthew Boulton (Soho) to James Watt (Cusgarne). ever tried and what is singular it contains no calm air but his part fixable and part inflammable Henry Williams his return from ketley the engineers restored and good well it will be 3 weeks before they want an engine therefore I propose for him and Joseph to go to Gregory in two or three days as more eyes than one pair will be wanted there when that engine begins to work whole says if he could get anything able to do the work not erect Matthews engine in London Mr. Wilson writes today that I the long can't be finished till Gold Coast arrives and I have therefore sent it by the flight to Exeter this night with order 2 load to a four set it to Mr. T Wilson and in the same parcel I've sent some Cornish accounts and a letter to Mr. Wilson Ann Jenkins never Scott parrot Chapman no Penrith Deutsch have remitted anything and I fear from what I hear we shall never get either our own or Williams is money from them but I will leave nothing undone that ought to be done with them done vex but as little as probable about H persevere and he will soon find himself wrong he has not wrote to me but has no ground to stand on talks of trifles give him a list of give him a bit of bacon but do it without letting him think I was the cause it is unhappy he is unhappy in himself news of showing any disrespect towards him he says it is so trifling as not to bear repeating thank Mrs Watt for her friendly epistle and will do myself the pleasure of writing to her next post a Jew God bless you and yours I am ever yours most sincerely Matthew Bolton I perceive I made a mistake in my drawing glass and day by making all the ovals perpendicular IE by making their axis horizontal instead of the angle they make in the different parts of the revolution but its no matter our model is perfect |
