Sir.

South Woodford. H. E. November 14th, 1914 -

I am given to understand that the Admiralty are requiring Captains and Officers for Special Service, conditions unknown.

I have already put my name down on the books of the Imperial Merchant Service Guild offering my service for the

same.

I should esteem it a great favour if you would kindly use your influence at the Admiralty in

my behalf.

Thanking you in anticipation.

H H. F. Batterbee, Esq.

Jam, Fir.

Yours obediently,

Robert H. Wetherell.

Assistant Private Secretary.
