Title
Correspondence James Watt Jr., to William Creighton and James Brown 1817
Date
1817
Description

Letters from James Watt Jr. to William Creighton, head of the Drawing Office, from 1817. Some of the letters are also addressed simply to “Boulton Watt & Co.”, but are docketed by Creighton. The bundle also includes letters to the London-based engine erector James Brown. Brown frequently assisted in the Drawing Office when he was visiting Soho.

This bundle was examined and possibly re-arranged by Henry Hazleton in the 1890s, as it has a card cover in the same style as the previous three large bundles.
