Itter to Secretary of State

I have relations residing at Vancouvers Island in the employment
of the Hudsons Bay Co and have a desire to join them there.
Should you have any place in your gift for that Colony will
you kindly allow me to offer myself to your notice. I have been
for some years employed as Clerk in a London Banking house and
can furnish first class references. I should not object to any
situation there, provided there was an opportunity of promotion
and would pay my own passage out. My age is 28.

Apologizing for troubling you.
