Mr. Pickering undertook the translation of any important document or revised translations of documents in evidence and a judge could feel perfect confidence that there was no mistake.

Mr. Pickering received a high salary but not higher than his services were worth.

Having at much length complied with the request contained in your letter, and having stated such opinion as to the present staff of Interpreters and having indicated how this defective branch of the service is to be remedied
