Ref No	DM1306/11/1/2/folio 405-406
Title	Letter from John Scott Russell to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Description	Written from 37 Great George Street, Westminster, London. The letter explains that the only certainty that Russell requires is the assurance that if he continues with his present, large weekly payments for his work on the Great Ship, then he needs to ensure that the money being paid to him comes in a fixed quantity on a fixed day each month in order to allow him to meet his payments. More than this, Russell does not care, as long as the payments are calculated carefully and accurately and are sufficient to keep up with the outgoings.
