Date

1797 - 1799

Description

Letters from Gregory Watt to his brother and father and Matthew Robinson Boulton from 1797 to 1799.

For further letters from Gregory Watt during his visit to Cornwall in 1797 and 1798 see 3/357 and 3/358, Letters from Thomas Wilson, 1797 and 1798. Gregory wrote from Truro on the following dates, adding his letters to the same sheets as letters by Wilson of the same date:

30 November 1797
4 December 1797
17 December 1797
31 January 1798
4 February 1798

Some of the letters were at some point displayed either in a case or guard book. The letters are docketed, but new summaries were made of most of them as their contents were found to be more extensive than the dockets suggested.

The bundle is divided as follows:

Nos. 1-2. 1797
Nos. 3-12. 1798
Nos. 13-33. 1799
