Title
Letter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to J. G. Crace
Description
Written from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter reminds Crace that his son took away several designs that Brunel preferred so that they could be revised and Brunel kept the design he did not like. Brunel asserts that he does not have the design that was to be revised and requests, if the design has been mislaid, that Crace make another copy and describes some of the changes that were to be made. A post-script expresses Brunel's regret that Crace may be starting an action against the Eastern Steam Company over a disagreement about payment for Crace's work since Brunel believes that Crace is in the wrong.
