| Description | Written from 39 Moorgate Street, London. The letter expresses Colebrook's interest in Brunel's Great Leviathan as a symbol of patriotic pride and discussests the potential value of a trade route to South America, since South America has an abundance of untapped resources and a relatively sparse population per square mile, especially compared to the population of England. The letter aims to solicit Brunel's, or the Eastern Steam Navigation Company's, assistance with Colebrooke's scheme to set up a company to organise regular mass emigration to South America. The letter sets out Colebrooke's proposals and his calculations as to the finances involved in his scheme. |
