Port 376 Gilan Date Received 19 1906

Considerably surprised & grieved to hear that you are about to resign your position as Shipping Master at this port & I am sure that all ship masters who have had anything to do with you in your Official Capacity will agree with me, that for despatch & accuracy in shipping off & shipping crews your equal will be hard to find. During the eleven years that I have known you it has always been a pleasure to have you come on board my vessel to pay the crew off, as you always do the work in half the time it takes in other ports.

I only hope the man who succeeds you, will find the same amount of satisfaction obliging & Conscientious as you have been, I hope I shall meet you here on my returns, & wishing you all success & happiness.

I am yours sincerely N. Maker Kony Groutes
