Title
Letter from H. S. Olden to W. B. Lewis
Description
Written from Smethwick. The letter explains the purchase and ownership history of a large hydraulic press lent to Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the launching of the Great Eastern and gives details of the current owner of the press or how to identify them. The letter comments that Olden has not received any letters from Millwall about the ownership of the press, nor has he received payment for transporting the press and asks Lewis to look into the matter for him.
