Dear Sir
I beg to ask if you have an opening for a steady man in connection with the Cyanide Plant as I am desirous of obtaining employment.
I have had to give up the waggon as there was nothing in it to keep a house running.
If you can assist me at the present time by giving me work you will greatly oblige.
I remian
Yours [Gosphy?]
Wm Baker
