| Description | Written from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter asks Berthon how he is getting on with the collapsible boat that he is building for Brunel and the Eastern Steam Navigation Company's ship and asks when Berthon will have the boat finished by. The letter also asks for any information or advice that Berthon can give Brunel about logs since Brunel would like to know what his best option is and wants to try it out in his steamer. |
