Dear Sir,
I am instructed by the Board of Directors of this Company to convey to you the very high opinion they entertain of the Zeal and ability with which, as one of the resident assistant Engineers engaged under Mr. John Weightman on the Railway, you have carried on the works entrusted to your charge to a completion the most successful and creditable and satisfactory that could be desired.
It gives me great pleasure to be the instrument of communicating this testimonial to you; and it is due to you to state that highly as your qualifications as a Civil Engineer are rated, your conduct as a Gentleman has been equally satisfactory to all who have had the pleasure of coming in contact with you.
I am, Dear Sir, Yours very truly (Signed) John Whitehead Secretary.
John Pope Esq?
