New Town,

22d Oct., 1892.

SIR-I hasten to reply to your advertisement in the Brooklyn Eagle of to-day. I am most desirous of obtaining employment, and would not consider present emolument so much an object as the prospect of a permanent and respectable situation. I am a young man (age 23), and single. I have received a good commercial education, and am versed in bookkeeping and accounts generally. In other respects I am willing to render myself generally useful, and, although I have not hitherto filled a situation, I doubt not but that in a short time I shall be able to fulfil any duties assigned to me.

In the event of your doing me the honor to select me for the proffered employment, I could furnish you with satisfactory testimonials as to character, and could, if necessary, provide guarantees for fidelity.

Trusting that I may have the honor of hearing from you in reply,
