Mr Guiteras,
Dear Sir,

Wee 12/24/06
Learning that you are about to retire from the service as Deputy Shipping Master at this Port, I beg to express my well wishes, for your future.
You will be greatly missed by the masters sailing out of this Port as crews. They speak in the highest terms of your faithful service to the government, and courteous dealings, with themselves, and
During the six years you have been signing and paying the crews from this ship, I have found you strictly just and upright, giving each man his just due,
The years you have spent in the service is a very high testimonial of your just dealings with the shipping community.
Wishing you a prosperous future, I remain yours truly,
A. Lockett
Master
S.S. "Algoa",
