SIR,
I had the care of three horses at Mr. ----, and he allowed me a.s.sistance in the stable.
I am a married man and have five children. I have been used to drive in London during the season. If you should be pleased to engage me, I shall endeavour to do my best to serve you.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN JAMES.
_Applying for a Situation as a Gardener._
Snowdrop Cottage, June 1st, 187--
SIR,
Understanding that there will be a vacancy shortly in your establishment for a gardener, I respectfully beg to offer myself for the place. From boyhood I have been under the best of gardeners. I served my apprentices.h.i.+p with, and have been from time to time improving myself under the direction of one of the most experienced landscape gardeners employed in the Crystal Palace Gardens. I enclose you a copy of the opinion formed of my capabilities by those under whom I placed myself, and a.s.sure you my whole time and study shall be devoted to your service.
I remain,
Yours obediently,
E. GARDNER.
_A Gentleman ordering a Set of Harness from a Saddler._
Edisbury Place, February 4th, 187--
SIR,
I send my coachman to consult with you as to the style and quality of a new set of double harness, which I shall shortly require. My own idea is that harness cannot be too light looking. I have also a great objection to a large amount of plating. My coachman will tell you the size of the horses; and please let me know by him the very lowest price.
Yours obediently,
JAMES HEATON.
_Saddler, in reply._
3, Tanning Road, February 1st, 187--
SIR,
Many thanks for your esteemed communication. From the description given by your coachman of the double harness required, I think I can supply you to your satisfaction for the sum of 24_l._, and everything will be of the best quality. Trusting that you will be satisfied with the quality and character of the goods,
I remain,
Sir,
Your humble obedient servant,
JOSEPH TANNER.
