Sir
With reference to your application of the instant to enter Her Majesty's Service as a Naval Engineer, I am directed by the Surveyor of the Navy to request you will inform him whether you consider you possess the qualifications set forth on the other side hereof and can present yourself at Woolwich for examination within 14 days from this date, in which case the necessary orders will be sent to the Dock Yard.
I am further directed to inform you that you must proceed to Woolwich at your own expense, and present yourself to the Commodore Superintendent of that Yard, with all the certificates that you possess, and that if you pass the necessary examinations and are approved, you will be engaged as an acting Assistant Engineer of the Third Class on probation, allowed Three Month's advance of pay, and confirmed at the expiration of Twelve Months if your conduct and qualifications are satisfactory and your services are then required.
I am, Sir,
Your humble servant
