Title
Letter from Robert Stephenson to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Description
The letter celebrates 21'6", possibly the distance that the Eastern Steam Navigation Company's ship has moved, and reassures Brunel that Stephenson will do everything he can to keep himself right which may mean his being prudent for a few days. The letter also mentions that Stephenson had sent his groom to London to try and prevent Brunel having to write to him specially.
