| Description | 91 letters, arranged in alphabetical order. Where there is more than one letter from a correspondent, the individual's letters are then in chronological order.
There are three enclosures.
There are no surviving original bundle wrappers, although the colour of the letter from Mr Hurt, (90) would suggest that it had been the uppermost letter in a bundle of folded letters.
One letter, from John Harris, 15 Jul. 1812, has been transferred from the Watt to
Watt jr. sequence of letters [previously MIV/ box ].
The letters had not been numbered.
The letters were transferred into four modern folders in the ?1970s, and numbered B&W/ M IV/Box /Bundle H in 1987.
In 2001 they were transferred into nine archival folders.
The summaries are copies of the dockets written by James Watt jr. Any additions by the cataloguer are given in square brackets. |
