Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Faraday   14 December 1837

18 Duke Street | 14th Decr 1837

My Dear Faraday

I thought I explained to you when I called then it clearly was "Professionally" that I wished to consult you from time to time on the part of our Company and I hope I may continue to do so¹. I should never hesitate to ask you for information or assistance when the object were merely the "advancement of science" but this is a pure question of business in which as consumers of an article, we wish to get the most for our money - "tell me if I plague you and if "le jeu ne veut pas la chandelle" otherwise if I may go on don't trouble yourself to write;

Yours sincerely | I.K. Brunel
