ELLIOT TO ABERDEEN28
36 Wilton Cresent
June 18th. 1846.
My Lord,
I have the honour to report that I arrived here on the 16th
Instant.
Deprived of my post by circumstances in Your Lordship's
knowledge, I beg to express my readiness, and I hope I may add
my earnest desire for early re-employment, for I have no fortune,
and a large family entirely dependant upon me. So far as my
Services and career may properly derive advantage from a very
kind as well as just estimation by the Head of the Department
under which I have had the honour to serve for the last 12 years,
I certainly submit this application to Your Lordship with feel-
ings of perfect confidence.
Charles Elliott.
To the Right Honourable.
The Earl of Aberdeen, K. T.
