Copies of Application, with 127 Testimonials, of G. C. Baxter for the Foreman Melter ship at Hong Kong Mint.
12 New #1 Square
Fetter Lane F.C.
Haring been informed that the situation of Foreman Melter of the Hong Kong Mint is vacant, I beg to offer myself as one suitable for that situation.
I am 21 years of age and will become a journeyman on the 7th day of December, having served 4 years as a Silver Caster and Melter. I quite understand the nature of silver (likewise gold) in a melted state, having used it in large quantities. My health is also good, having had occasion to consult a doctor; therefore, I feel confident in doing the work that is required in the Hong-Kong Mint. Hoping that I shall be suitable for that office, I remain,
Your most obedient Servant,
(sd.) Geo. Chas. Baxter
