| Description | Written from 20 Great George Street, Westminster, London. The letter promises to consider Brunel's previous letter but suggests that Brunel, when he visited the ship, did not notice that preparations were, in fact, being made to put in longitudinal bulkheads as Brunel suggests. The letter also answers Brunel's queries about the design of the cabins and saloons and remarks that several of Brunel's points have already been incorporated and that Russell believes that very few points of detail relating to the fitting out of the ship actually remain to be settled. |
