TitleLetter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Edward Finch
DescriptionThe letter asks Finch if any arrangements have already been made relating to Finch's supplying the masts for the Great Ship, especially as to whether Finch is to undertake the erection of the masts or the supply of the bolts to fix the masts on the deck. The letter also requests a meeting with Finch to ensure that he is proceeding in a manner that Brunel will approve of but asks Finch to remember that Brunel has no authority over him nor any responsibility towards him but that it may cause additional delay if Brunel is not kept apprised of progress.
