But if this cannot be allowed, or if he is unsuccessful, might I be permitted to solicit for him an appointment to some other office in the Colonial Service, suitable to his principles and education - a young man of good character, willing, able, and desirous of turning his talents to support himself and to work for the public good, for the benefit of the community.
May I be excused for adding that the faithful and efficient services of my brother, William Porter, who has been for twenty-six years Attorney General at the Cape of Good Hope, without ever once soliciting any promotion for himself or an appointment under the Crown for any member of his family, seem to me to add weight to this application for his nephew. I have no right in it, for he does not get known to me by joining our family; but I am sure he would feel deeply gratified if my recommendation were to receive consideration on its own account.
If you are unable to comply with my wish in this matter, please return to me the accompanying testimonials; as they may be of use to my son some day.
