| Description | Written from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter acknowledges that since Brunel cannot get iron bars of the length that he wants, he must order shorter lengths that can be welded together and requests that Beale and Co make him shorter bars of any length they choose so long as a set of three welded together will make the total length that Brunel desires. The letter gives details of the dimensions and specifics of the exact shape that Brunel wants, requests an expected delivery date and also orders several iron plates of a specific dimension. There is a sketch at the top of Folio 14 demonstrating the shape that Brunel wants the bars made into. |
