The stationery engine will be expensive to keep on account of the cost of coal. The water wheel will be too costly to put up unless there be more traffic on the line than I can at present forsee...', and that he is working on another plan which 'I shall have... prepared when I go down to Whitby. The machinery will not cost much in erecting and no time will be lost in turning to this arrangement....'; and in September 1835 thanking Clark for sending 'the minutes of the Directors', promising to visit shortly, and assuring him that 'it is my wish to have that great work set forward is possible, and you will please to inform my Whitby friends that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to give them a taste of the benefits of it...', each 4 pages (including integral address, with red postal stamp, 4 pages blank), old folds, age-dusted, small hole at head (touching a couple of letters to each), 4to Stone, 3 January 1834, North Hotel, Birmingham 7 April 1834, London, 30 April 1834, and Alton Grange, 28 May 1834, 4 October 1835 and 6 September 1835, loosely inserted into an album, with other letters and cut signatures - see footnote (quantity)
