My dear Sir,
I have much pleasure in recommending to your notice Captain Stevens on Half pay, and who formerly served for 11 years under the Magistrates of Middlesex. He is thoroughly acquainted with Accounts, and well qualified from his good conduct and talent to perform duties of high importance. If he can obtain the appointment which he is seeking, I am persuaded he will perform the duties faithfully.
Yours faithfully,
Steney Pownall
