Title
Letter from James Watt & Co to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Description
Written from 18 London Street, City of London. The letter expresses Watt & Co's surprise at receiving Brunel's letter about appointing all the engineers except Mr Cross since it was completely different to what Watt & Co had understood to be the case.
