| Description | Letters from John Wilkinson, from 1796 to 1797. The letters conern the final orders for cylinders and other castings executed for Boulton & Watt by Wilkinson, the dispute at Minera Mine, and Wilkinson’s intention to manufacture engines himself. The majority of the letters are signed on Wilkinson’s behalf by his clerks and engineers, and his nephew Thomas Jones (later Thomas Jones Wilkinson). |
