Title
Letter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to John Scott Russell
Description
Written from 18 Duke Street. The letter requests Russell send Brunel a small drawing of the engines and boilers and a longitudinal section of the ship that can be attached to the contract between John Scott Russell and the Eastern Steam Navigation Company and explains how hard Brunel has worked to get the contracts prepared and his eagerness not to hold the contracts up by Russell's delaying to send the drawings.
