Dear Smiles
I have made a few more notes for you on the blast pipes and I will send them tomorrow if you cannot dine quietly with me on Saturday _
It would be better if I could see you personally on the first
Yours sincerely
Robt Stephenson

I have also got a copy of the report on Stationary & Locomotives by Locke and myself, on which there is also a reference to the Blast pipe at Killingworth -
I enclose the notes on second thoughts for perusal but I hope you can come as I leave town on Monday for some time _ RS
