Title	Letter from Charles Dalton to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Description	Written from No 10 Bath Street, Poplar, East London. The letter justifies Dalton's interest in the launching of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company's ship as a matter of patriotic pride and offers Dalton's suggestion for launching the ship. Dalton's suggestion is, he believes, most economical and uses many readily available materials to create wooden levers and fulcrums on both sides of the vessel, raising the landward side levers to a greater angle while the river-ward levers are left flat.
