| Description | Written from 18 London Street, City of London. The letter gives Brunel the name of an alternative engineer, Mr W. H. Cross, that Watt & Co would recommend as engineer in charge of the screw engines since their first choice, Mr Rorison, has not yet returned to the UK and explains some of Cross' qualifications. The letter also gives the name of the man that they would like to recommend as First Assistant and recommends that the assistant recommend some others to work with him, subject to Brunel's approval. |
