| Description | Written from 37 Great George Street, Westminster, London. The letter comments on the quantities of materials that Russell has ordered for work on the big ship and the fact that almost all of Russell's factory is now at work on the materials for the big ship as soon as it comes in and he hopes that Brunel will consider their progress satisfactory. Russell also requests Brunel make arrangements for authorising his monthly payment for work done on the ship and reminds Brunel about the payment for the work done on the engines. |
