This private letter concerns one of the most exciting new developments of the day, the emerging railways. Badnall writes, "I flatter myself...my attachment to mechanical pursuits might be brought into useful play, and more especially s I cannot help having a strong presentiment that...the undulating Railway would soon obtain a preeminence which would ensure a lucrative Business..." Bandall goes on to suggest that if they did go into business together, Stephenson might remain at Manchester and Badnall reside in Birmingham. He ends with some remarks on centrifugal force, a subject upon which he and Stephenson had obviously corresponded.
