Dear Doctor Fitzgerald,
I have been offered the appointment as Assistant Engineer, Bengal & N.W. Railway. I would be very glad if you could let me have the address of Mr. Neville who is on the same line, & who is in this country at present as I would like to have a talk with him about the matter before finally deciding on accepting the appointment.
You may possibly know his address as you mentioned to me some time ago the fact of his being home on leave. Thanking you for your influence in getting me the appointment.
Yours faithfully,
Dudley P. Griffith
