AN EXCITING TIME.
THE CANDIDATE'S COMPLETE LETTER-WRITER.
(In Answer to a Sweep asking for a F.O. Clerkship.)
MY DEAR MR. ——,
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to secure for your interesting son a Clerkship in the Foreign Office. The fact that he has a distaste for the profession to which you belong would be no disqualification. I agree with you that chimney-sweeping is better than diplomacy. However, if he won't help you it can't be helped. I am exceptionally busy just now, but please repeat the purport of your letter after the Election. Who knows I may not be in a better position then than now to assist you,
Yours sincerely,
SOPHT SAWDER.
