Title | Correspondence : A letter from W.P. Poole of Pencraig soliciting the Surveyorship of Taxes of Anglesey for one of his confidential clerks, elicits a firm but courteous reminder from Sanderson that the post is noe yet vacant, and that, further more, preference is not necessarily given to the first applicant but to those whose claims on political grounds entitle them to it (2127). Naval and military posts and promotions form the suject of a fair number of the applications received in 1827; the cashier of his brother, a qualified surgeon and apothecary, anxious for a job in one of the service hospitals (2139); the Rector of Llangefni, again, has a brother William, an assistant sugeon in the 99th Foot and long overdue for promotion (2148); while a Mrs Gray of Cichle would like her 16 year old son entered for a cadetship at Woolwich (2149) |
