Dear M^r Wallace:

I have written to Mr. Suriburne,¹ of Teddington, asking him if he can find a place in their works for your son,² who will, I think, call there this afternoon.

Every year it becomes more difficult to find places [2] for our students, for those works' managers who take in pupils at big premiums, cannot, however willing, admit without premium a young fellow, however well trained, without creating great jealousies. However, if your son exerts himself to find a berth, he will succeed; and I will do what I can to help him.

Believe me, | Ever yours sincerely, | Silv^s P. Thompson³ [signature]
