| Description | Written from 9 Clarendon Terrace, Notting Hill, West London. The letter hopes that Brunel does not take Wright's letter as impertinence but as a symbol of his sincere desire to assist in the successful launching of the Leviathan ship. Wright suggests getting a large number of soldiers, perhaps at least five hundred, to march fast around the ship in step to cause enough of a vibration to move the ship down the launching way. |
