| Description | The letter remarks that Brunel has taken no harm from his visit to the Great Eastern and has written to John Scott Russell raising some points based on his visit, which he has copied to John Yates, and proposes to make another visit to the ship, after which he will tackle Watts & Co. The letter remarks on the urgent need to settle the details of the form of the beds and the arrangement of the saloons and other principles of the fitting up before it is too late. The letter acknowledges Campbell's desire for Brunel to estimate the value of the work that has been done or partially done but suggests that they immediately bring into operation a clause in Campbell's contract requesting the contractor submit from time to time a statement of the quantity of work and done and materials used although Brunel thinks this request should come from the Directors of the Company. |
