| Description Of Item | He writes in answer to Cullen's enquiry about electrical apparatus he had seen. He asks whether it could be Mr Nairn's patent apparatus, although no example of it had been purchased by Mr Long, and gives the price. He also looked at statical machines at Merlins on Cullen's behalf and gives the size and prices. He also writes that George Fordyce has made a nice balance and will look at it tomorrow.
He writes about his own business concerning fisheries. Stewart McKenzie is almost the only one he has spoken to who understands the issues; Mr Dundas would understand if he took the time; and Mr Dempster is well informed but does not have enough influence. He writes that he has not yet been examined [by the Royal College ?] although his report is before the committee.
He reports that Lord Dundonald's business was before the House last night. Sir Adam [?] Ferguson supported it and Lord Mahon suggested an amendment that would be in Lord Dundonald's favour. In index. |
