TitleLetter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to John Yates, secretary of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company
DescriptionWritten from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter reminds Yates that Brunel is still waiting for a shipment of iron ordered back in March which he needs for work on the ventilator. Brunel thinks that, unless some proof is forthcoming that the iron will be delivered quickly, then it must be ordered from somewhere else since not having this shipment is seriously delaying the work.
