Content DescriptionWrites that Lord Titchfield had promised him that he would ask the duke to recommend John Greenwell, who has been in the service of the East India Company for 28 years in the Bengal warehouse; mentions that the warehouse keeper in Greenwell's department has resigned his office; wishes for a letter of recommendation to the chairman, Mr Charles Mills, for Greenwell to be considered in the new arrangement to take place at the Bengal and coast warehouses; has just realised that he told Titchfield that the letter had to be to Mr Charles Smith instead of Mr Charles Mills; has not had time to correct the mistake with Titchfield as the recommendation needs to be done immediately.
