Critchoff Jany 14th. 1785. OS.
I hope that Notman will have done his business and be set off in his
return here before this letter can reach you; but if he should be still
in England endeavour that he or some one whom he brings with him
should make himself master of the method of cutting the sort of iron
skrews which are made to skrew into wood. Those of an inch in length cost
only from 1s „ 9d. to a shilling the gross consisting of 144. It seems therefore
not possible that they should be filed by hand: yet they have not the appearance
of being cut in a lathe. These sort of skrews of different
sizes I am in great want of. Capper
