Notes
Printed in NC, 5: 186-7.||The last smith [Thomas Sylvester] was paid 50 p.a., plus piece work. At Newton's request (following differences with the smith), this salary was stopped when the post became vacant [through Sylvester's death, c. December 1710], pending formulation of a new contract. Newton now requests funding for a new salary with confirmation of his power of dismissal.
