Possibility of laying off locomotive engines, use of bellows. This is the 'blast pipe' letter or 'Stephenson' letter purported to prove that Timothy Hackworth invented the blast pipe as Stephenson was still using bellows at this time. This letter is frequently discussed later in the archive by members of the family and other interested parties.
