I must confess that, as far as individual comfort goes, it is not the most comfortable one, but it is sexy comfortable. I see it as an opportunity of pushing my way in the world and gratifying an irresistible inclination for other scenes and an active life. I assure you that I would not stay in the Police Office if I could get a better situation that the Railway could offer to me. I can hardly imagine a better one than the Manchester & Leeds Railway.

The romance of the moment that prompts me now to such a step is not the desire I have to serve Her Majesty, a feeling that I cannot overcome, it was inculcated when I had the honour to serve under you and Gent. 107 Toyadham have not been able to eradicate it. I therefore beg most respectfully that you will please to use your influence with Jew'r Myndham, who can, if willing, soon procure for me the situation desired. Of course, Sir James Raham will be the person to apply to; will you be kind enough to solicit the General in my behalf before the appointments are made. I flatter myself that my present employer will give me a character equally creditable to myself and satisfying to you.

May I beg to hope that you will extend your kindness to me by honouring me with a few lines, indicative of your favourable disposition towards my petition, which, if successful, will make me the happiest of men. Trusting that you will do me the favour to endeavour for me with the General,

I remain,

Your very obedient Servant,

Henry Printhan,

Inspector, Bishopsgate Station.
