Note 5 — REMARKS, ON A PAMPHLET, &c.

The Board contracted with Mr. Kendall (one of the six Persons to whom the Discovery was made) to make a Watch after the Model of mine. He was to be paid for every Thing before-hand, and to begin in a Twelvemonth after making the Bargain; he is to make Parts like Parts, but is not to be answerable for his Watch’s going at all. My Timekeeper is now in his Possession, tho’ he is not yet ready to make Use of it; There are some Parts in the making of which the Model can be of little or no Use to him; I only desired it for six or eight Months, and am confident he can have no Occasion for it before that Time is expired: however I have offered to have it forth coming whenever Mr. Kendall declares that he wants it, therefore I apprehend their Engagements with Mr. Kendall afford no solid Reason for the Commissioners to refuse lending it to me.
