Letter signed ("Geo. Stephenson"), to his son Robert, discussing the design of their latest railway engine: "I am quite aware that the best tubes are a complicated job to make, but after once in and well done it cannot be any complication in the working of the Engine. This best Tube is a child of your own which you stated to me in a former letter. The interior of a watch looks complicated but when once well fit up, there needs very little more trouble for a hundred years, & I expect the Engine you are fitting up will be something similar to this watch with respect to its working parts"; and reminding him that other parts of their business demand his attention: "We must now push forward to Canterbury as much as possible...It will be necessary for you to be there in the course of a Month and to have your confidential man there...I have not heard any more from the Hetton Company, therefore you will push Scruton forward with his part of the business"; with integral address leaf, postmarked, docketed with contemporary costings or arithmetical calculations, 2 pages, minor dust-staining etc., 4to, Liverpool, 15 April 1828
