| Description | Written from the Great Northern Railway Stores Department, Kings Cross, London. Badham asks Brunel for an order to view the launching of the Leviathan (SS Great Eastern) with his family and adds that he is distantly related to the late Secretary of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, Mr JB Badham.
Annotated, probably by Brunel: 'no orders are given but if he calls at the yard and sends in his name to me he will be admitted.' |
