1801 - 1811
Description

Letters from James Watt Jr. to John Southern from 1801 to 1811. This arrangement of Watt Jr.’s occasional letters and memoranda to John Southern, the head of the Drawing Office at Soho, was created in the 1890s by Henry Hazleton. He may have extracted the letters from bundles of general correspondence kept by Southern. The letters of 1810 and 1811 are more numerous, so Southern may have originally kept them in separate bundles.

The letters are dated as follows:

No. 2. 1801
Nos. 3-5. 1802
Nos. 6-7. 1803
No. 8. 1804
Nos. 9-14. 1806
No. 15. 1808
No. 16. 1809
Nos. 17-24. 1810
Nos. 25-45. 1811
