| Description | Written from 21 Judd Street, Kings Cross, London. The letter requests permission to send Brunel a copy of a drawing of Paulson's patent pendulum lever engines for his inspection with a view towards its inclusion on the Great Eastern and suggests that using the device might offer the Eastern steam Navigation Company a considerable saving. An annotation across the upper left hand corner directs Brunel's reply returning the drawing and explaining that the engines for the ship are already designed. |
