Hamley to Lytton

If the appointment in question should be at your disposal and you
Hamley, Wymondaccepts appointment
have the great kindness to offer it to me I will gratefully accept it.
I would not think of doing so if I felt doubtful of being able to
discharge the duties, but besides the determination to carry out the
instructions I might receive I cannot be altogether unprepared after so
long an apprenticeship at this office where questions respecting shipping
& accounts daily arise.

I could be ready to leave at a short notice. Please accept
my most sincere thanks & believe me
