The Hollows

Sneinton

Nottingham

England

July 25th 1887.

My dear Professor,

You very kindly promised to help me when you were able. I am a candidate for the post of Curator & Librarian of the Raffles Library and Museum at Singapore. Will you kindly give me a few lines that I can use in forwarding my application to the English Government. I have asked Dr Rost of the India Office and Dr Müller of Berne to recommend me regarding liberary work. I think my seven years natural history & library work in Ceylon well fits me for the post at Singapore.

Yours very truly

W. Knight James

Late Principal Government Normal College Colombo

Prof. Dr Haeckel
