| Description | Letters and papers relating to engine spares, new boilers etc. for the Royal Mint, from 1816, 1818 to 1820 and 1826. Almost all the letters are from George Rennie, and all are docketed by William Creighton, the Head of the Drawing Office. These letters may have been removed from the now missing series of Drawing Office incoming correspondence, or from the bundles of letters from the Rennies.
See Portfolios 5/716a—d for drawings of the Mint engines and machinery. See the previous bundle, 3/520, for earlier correspondence relating to the Royal Mint. For further letters from George Rennie about the mint after 1820, see 3/321 to 3/323, letters from George & John Rennie. |
