To John Tyndall, Snr   Monday evening | October 30th, 1843.

Preston | Monday evening | October 30th, 1843.

My dear Father

I forward you a letter from Wm Wright.¹ His account respecting Surveyors nearly agrees with that of Wm Tyndall.² But he takes a wider view of the case, and does not limit his remarks to my present line of life. He of course can form a good idea of what I am able to do, and on that knowledge he founds the very cheering encouragement which he holds out to me. I however have some hope even in my present business. You may remark what he says respecting good draughtsmen. Their number is very few. Now drawing is my forte. I am able to produce as respectable a plan as many of my compatriots and this consideration holds out a hope of success in this line. However, as I stated in a former letter, I’m ready for anything.

Your affectionate son | John.
