TitleLetter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to the Directors of the Great Ship Company Limited
DescriptionThe letter reminds the Directors of Brunel's previous letter raising certain issues that need to be attended to by John Scott Russell or by someone else if Russell refuses to do the work. Brunel reports on a recent meeting between John Scott Russell, Mr Campbell, Captain Harrison and Brunel; the results of which will be communicated to the Directors by Mr Campbell. The meeting resulted in a request to Brunel to to draw up a list of the matters that had been mentioned and of any other matters that may need to be raised with the arbitrators. Brunel believes that although some of his points may seem trivial, they all need to be settled. The letter also mentions that Brunel's list includes not only his essential matters but also matters considered desirable by others.
