To the PROPRIETORS of EAST,INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been encouraged to offer myself,
on the first favourable opening, as a CANDIDATE
for the distinguished office of a DIRECTOR of your A fiiiirs,
I have only been prevented hitherto from publicly announcing
my intention by the apprehension that such a step might be
considered premature while I was still connected with a Com-
mercial Establishinent in India. That connection, however,
having now terminated, I shall take the earliest possible occa-
sion of waiting on you individually, and soliciting the favour
of your. Suffrages.
I went out to. Bengal as a Writer in the Honourable Coin.
pany't Civil Service in the year 1802 l • and, during the early
period of my resiflence in India, held for some time an appoint-
ment in the Comniercial Department, in which I was fortunate
enough to obtain a very flattering testimonial of my conduct
from my Superior in office. In the year 1007, I quitted that
employment for the purpose of joining the House of Alexander
and Co. of which I continued an active Partner up to the period
of my embarkation for England in December, 18111. With
the experience necessarily acquired in these different situations,
during the sixteen years of my life which I pawned in the
Honourable Company's territories abroad, I would fain hope
that I shall not be found altogether unprepared for those itn.
portant functions which it is my ambition to undertake. And
should you eventually hoifour me with your choice, I may at
least venture to assure you, .that my time shall be faithfully
devottd, and the best of my humble abilities honestly applied
to the promotion of your interests and those of the extensitv
regions over which you preside.
'avail myself of this opportunity to return my cordial ac-
knowledgments to those personal friends for whose promises
of support I am already indebted, and without whose counte.
mince 1 should never thus have ventured to obtrude my preten-
slm on the Proprietors at large.
1 have the honour to be,
Ladies and (;entlenien
Your faithful and'obedient Servant,
