| Description | This file does not appear in the Inventory compiled by Cheshire at the time of his departure from Soho on 15 Feb. 1812, perhaps because it had been passed to William D. Brown to be kept at hand for reference. Under M. R. Boulton’s later arrangement the file was put into Box D. III, and it was probably in the same place when it arrived at the Assay Office in 1921.
Within the file the documents were divided among several packets, according to the first letter of the correspondent’s name, and this arrangement is preserved in the following list. Within the several groups, the documents are arranged chronologically.
The copy documents are press-copies, except where noted otherwise. |
