| Description | Summarised "The Navy Victualling Office commissioners require our engine, with Wasbrough’s pretended patent crank, at which I declined business. What can we do? Has been in Wasbrough’s company, he wants all the profit of the crank end. Query if there is any advantage from the perpetual vacuum at Chelsea and Shadwell. Business requires a counting house in London. Fothergill unkind in remarks to Boulton. Has not charged his travelling expense. Will leave money matters in Watt’s hands." |
