| Description | The letter explains that Brunel has appointed all the engineers in charge of the engines but left a post free for Blake's recommendation. Brunel also reminds Blake that the ship will be leaving the following Saturday and hopes that Blake's recommended candidate, Mr Cross, will be on board the day before departure, when Brunel will visit Blake to discuss everything. The letter also reminds Blake that the engines must start work in good time on the Friday morning to allow the ship to leave at high tide. |
