Sir,
I have received your communication relative to John ——. From the accounts you give of his general good conduct, his honesty, and the respectability of his family, I think he will be just the person I require to take the place of the porter I have lately lost by death. If the young man will call to-morrow, he can commence his duties.
I remain,
Sir,
Yours obediently,
J. D. S——.
