TitleLetter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to G. Lenox
DescriptionWritten from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter requests confirmation that Lenox's firm will deliver the chain cables by the date Brunel wanted since the launching of the ship depends on the cables and Brunel wants to know if he needs to make alternative arrangements for the cables if they will not be delivered in time. Brunel also makes decisions about the inclusion of shackles and swivels in the cable design and suggests incorporating a washer into the design.
