Title
Letter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Henry Wollaston Blake
Description
Written from 18 Duke Street, London. The letter hopes that Blake will let Brunel know as soon as possible whether the casting of the first engine cylinder was a good casting and wonders how long it will take to complete the various large castings for the screw propeller engine. The letter also reminds Blake to confer with Brunel on the various choices and details before going ahead and comments on part of one of the plans which Brunel would like to be changed.
