Content Description

The nose bag failed in the hands of a relative of the Agent who took out the patent, because of his son's involvement various expenses could not be recouped; he got together a version of the 'Cultor' for the Kilburn Show, hoping that someone would see how excellent it was over existing steam tilling machinery, but no one came; he called on Mrs Thomas Richmond when he had business at the Kensington Museum, and four weeks ago to the Royal Agricultural Society in Hanover Square; asks whether George Richmond's son, being involved in agriculture, might perhaps be interested in the machine; he is awaiting the arrival of a man from the Societé du Telegraphe Sous-Marin entre la France et Les Etats Unis D'Amerique who promised to help him.
