Title	Letter from James Brothers to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Description	Written from Monument Chambers, 15 Fish Street Hill, London. The letter sends Brunel details of James Brothers' prepared straw board pattern and confirms that the board will neither splinter nor contract and it is non-combustible. The letter also gives the dimensions that the board can be manufactured in and hopes that Brunel will favour them with an order. A post-script explains that as the board ages, it gets harder and less combustible.
