Title	Letter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Henry Wollaston Blake
Description	The letter explains the poor results of the test of the steam heater the previous day and describes its performance in detail and discusses Brunel's opinion as to the stage of construction of the steam heater. There is also a plaintive wish that Blake would answer Brunel's letter about the fly wheels for the auxiliary engines. A postscript also notes the absence of a response about the stuffing box that Brunel wanted to be installed and requests Blake immediately send him the drawing for the stuffing box.
