Dear Sir,

Yours faithfully,

F. S. Earsay

Commander of "Wem" and her ship

5.5.85

I have great pleasure in sending you this, and I am sure the rest of our commanders would do the same, and as to your requiring gratuity, you never have in my case hinted at requiring one.

I was in her on the last trip done in Sydney, "Australian".

At times when a man has been troublesome or in liquor, you have spoken sharply and in case of Europeans would not discharge them until sober.

I have sent a lesser, or sent an officer with him, and have never even heard from any of our Commanders or officers, that you were suspected of cheating the men.

As a rule we discharge & love you so mere to ships every line months.
