TitleLetters from James Anderson, Edinburgh to Richard Poole
Date6 May 1839
Description Of ItemHe had hoped to visit Poole in Montrose earlier but hopes to see him next month. He had considered putting himself forward for the post of engineer for the River Clyde but was put off by the politics surrounding it. He writes his letter on his printed letter to the Lord Provost withdrawing his application. Also includes another eight undated notes, two from Margaret Anderson, which relate to a report he was writing to accompany an estimate. He had seen the appendix to Cubitts report, had support from Mr McLaren, the editor of The Scotsman and was getting pressure from Sir Henry Jardine to complete it.
