Sir
Having received a letter from a relative in Vancouvers Island
(Mr Monat of the Hudsons Bay Companys service) informing me that
there are Vacancies to be filled up, in the Treasury, at that place;
I beg to offer myself as a Candidate, for a Clerkship in the same; I
am married, and my age is 29 and having a great desire to settle in
that Colony, should deem myself extremely fortunate if I were
successful in obtaining that, or a similar situation. The Security
that might be required, would be furnished by Mr Monat who is one of
the oldest residents in the Island. I am well acquainted with all
business and Commercial matters and can produce most unexceptional
References, and Testimonials as to Respectability, and Integrity &c.
Should my application meet with your kind attention, my very best
endeavours should be given to the duties of my position.
