Dear Mr. Inglis,

Hongkong, 24th May, 1880.

I think you are the best candidate for the appointment of Marine Surveyor under the new Merchant Shipping Ordinance.

I have never heard but one opinion as to your abilities as an Engineer, and I have always understood that you stand in the first class.

As to your integrity, I can only say that I should accept your certificate on any matter connected with your business as conclusive.

I should have no hesitation whatever in advising my client to act upon it.
