Copy of a Letter addressed to the Right Honble the Earl of Aberdeen by William Huttmann of Aberdeen

My Lord,

At 40 Tonbridge January 20th 1844

Government House at Hong Kong

I have had the honour to report that Her Majesty's Government have established a Court of Judicature in this Island.

I beg leave to state that having found by a letter dated late November 1st 1843 that my name has been placed on the list of candidates for employment in the Civil Service, I venture to solicit your Lordship's favourable consideration to my application for the appointment of Registrar or Clerk of the Court or some similar Office in connection with that Court.

My acquaintance with the Chinese language and law may afford information to the Judge on various points and enable me to be useful to him in other respects.

I beg to call your Lordship's attention to the fact that owing to an accidental delay on the part of a friend, I lost the appointment of Post Master of Hong Kong, as I had explained in a letter dated October 16th 1843.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's obedient Servant,

(Signed) W. Huttmann
