| Title | Letter from Joseph Banks, Soho Square, to James Keir |
| Date | 12 February 1780 |
| Description | Banks indignantly denies that he had raised objections to "your metal" in the hearing of Lord Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty; all that he had said to him was in favour of a further trial of the hardness of the iron. Banks adds that he has waited all day in expectation of a letter from Whitehurst, either denying or acknowledging that he had made this grave mis statement to Keir |
