Title
Correspondence from James Crummer, land agent.
Date
1798 - 1804
Description

Bundle of 101 letters to James Watt. The letters were not numbered. There was no original bundle label. The letters had been arranged in chronological order and this has been retained. The docket written by James Watt usually included the name of the correspondent and the date. There is usually a summary by Watt of the contents of the letter, which is given in italics below. Any notes given in square brackets are by the cataloguer.

Letter 54 (22 Nov. 1801) appears, from the markings on the outer page of the letter, to have been the uppermost in a bundle and to have had a small square label, tied around the bundle.
