TitleLetter from J. H. Yates, secretary of the Great Ship Company, to Isambard Kingdom Brunel
DescriptionWritten from 79 Lombard Street, London. The letter acknowledges receipt of Brunel's letter from 2 June and sends Brunel the estimate made by Mr Brown of the quantities needed to complete the Great Eastern, which Yates would like Brunel to return to him. The letter also explains how Brown was given his instructions when drawing up the estimate and suggests that William Jacomb or Mr Lewis might be better able to answer any questions that Brunel might have than Yates himself.
