yourself and four others), since the gentleman who makes

the second (single) declaration in support of your

application may also be one of the four people who make

the third (joint) declaration. The declarations can be

sworn with little trouble and expenditure of time before

a Commissioner for Gaths of whom there is generally at

least one in every Solicitor's Office. It is not necessary

to go before a Rotary Public.

I may perhaps point out that the Home Office

often take some little time to deal with an application

for naturalization, especially if they have a considerable

number of such applications in hand at the same time, and

that it will therefore be expedient that you should send in

your application at a time when you are certain to be in

this country for some weeks, so that you may be available

to complete the formalities when you receive notice on the

subject from the Home Office.

Dear Sir John,

13/12/26.

I send you herewith a draft copy of the Naturalization Papere, duly filled in, which you so kindly consented to look through.

I hope you will excuse my troubling you with this matter, but if it is necessary to have the sworn declaration of six people, I should like to know that it is in correct form before I approach them.

I wonder if it is absolutely essential to have these declarations signed by six people, as it will take some time to bring them all before a Notary Public.

Yours Sincerely,

Eshadoone

(sd.) John Risley.
