TitleLetter. James Lawson (Soho) to Matthew Boulton (London).
LevelItem
Date23 May 1791
DescriptionThe Press in the [Die] Multiplication Shop, had better be taken into the Mint and the old Press will do equally well for the multiplication of the Dies: this seems the shortest way to get the 6th Press to work in the Mint. I have spoken to Bouch about the pattern for casting two more Presses: he is busy putting together the 5th Press. I have received the Letter Punches from Phillips, and shall get the "nut" for Southampton [Tokens] finished as fast as possible. Mr. Wyon has not yet finished the Guinea die.]
