TitleLetter. John Scale (Soho) to Matthew Boulton [London].
LevelItem
Date17 May 1778
Description[I believe Mr. Stuart has the greater part of the filigree things in London and it would be well for him to offer them very cheap. I foresee that Jee & Eginton will want a curb for 12 months or so, for Hodgson their traveller is a very spirited young fellow and will do a great deal of business if he has the money: he is going tomorrow a new Circuit and has been industriously finding out every little cheap manufacturer in every branch that he may not be undersold, but the consequence of dealing with all such little folks is ready money, which is now too valuable an article to distribute wantonly: it would be well to write them a line to beg their forbearance for a few months or during these difficult times: I understand they have been pressing Mr. Fothergill for further assistance.]
