Smyth Essex, Ont. Dear Sir You will doubtless remember that I spoke to you concerning Essex school where [when?] you were in Harrow with the Essex football boys. I intended speaking to you again at Convention but as there is to be no meeting this fall; I take the liberty of writing to you. If it is at all probable that you will quit the job in the near future or even by next July let me know in time so that I may have a chance to work for the position. I have several reasons for wishing to step into your shoes and I am not the only one either, so if you will do me this favour I shall consider myself under an obligation to you. In case a vacancy should occur I think I might stand as good a show as anyone else. However so long as you continue to hold the position I shall not in any way seek to press my own case. Hoping to hear from you at an early date. I am Respectfully Yours, W.J Elliott Transcribed by Alan Houston |
