The Age of Invention

CHAPTER II
12/28

It makes the labor fifty times less, without throwing any class of People out of business.
"I returned to the Northward for the purpose of having a machine made on a large scale and obtaining a Patent for the invention.

I went to Philadelphia* soon after I arrived, made myself acquainted with the steps necessary to obtain a Patent, took several of the steps and the Secretary of State Mr.Jefferson agreed to send the Patent to me as soon it could be made out--so that I apprehended no difficulty in obtaining the Patent--Since I have been here I have employed several workmen in making machines and as soon as my business is such that I can leave it a few days, I shall come to Westboro'**.

I think it is probable I shall go to Philadelphia again before I come to Westboro', and when I do come I shall be able to stay but few days.

I am certain I can obtain a patent in England.

As soon as I have got a Patent in America I shall go with the machine which I am now making, to Georgia, where I shall stay a few weeks to see it at work.
