| Description | Written from Millwall, London. The letter explains that on the previous Saturday, John Yates requested Kittoe tell him how many men were needed in his department by the following Monday and when Kittoe asked for a slight delay so that he could consult with Brunel about the matter, he was given a brusque reply and an order, as a company officer, to answer all questions put to him. Kittoe originally enclosed with his letter a copy of his answer to Yates and the explanation for his calculation which he hopes Brunel will approve and promises to visit Brunel. |
