From WILLIAM CASEY, Esq. General Manager of the Castle Silk Mills, Edinburgh.
DEAR SIR,
CROFTBANK, SPRINGBURNE, NEAR GLASGOW,
April 7. 1841.
It will afford me considerable pleasure at all times to refer to your conduct, during the time you were under my inspection at the Castle Mills, as I must always testify that it was in every respect highly exemplary, so much so, that I shall ever be glad to hear of your welfare, and be happy to promote it at any time it may be in my power to serve you.
Your experience as a draughtsman, and your readiness in copying and correctly laying down every description of machinery, peculiarly qualifies you for the charge of the drawing department in any respectable establishment of civil engineering or machine making. I am, yours truly,
WILLIAM CASEY.

From Mr N. TENNANT, Principal Assistant to Messrs GRAINGER and MILLER, Architects and Civil-Engineers, Edinburgh.
16 CASTLE STREET, EDINBURGH,
24th February 1842.
Mr GEORGE STRACHAN was employed for a considerable period under my directions as an assistant, during which period he had every opportunity of shewing (both by his attention to the drawings entrusted to his preparation, and to his knowledge of detail) his capability as an architect. I am confident that in the event of any gentleman requiring the services of a steady, upright, and really valuable person in that capacity, no fear need be entertained as to the results.
N. TENNANT.
