'At R. Eden's Esq.', Boringdon, Hemel Hempstead, Herts. - Quotes his friend Albert Roberts on recommendations for naval appointments. Roberts, late of HMS Gannet, has a young family and seeks a home station; his generosity to others'; 'do not mention my name - which may still stink in the nostrils of the Admiralty, if the odour of a pamphlet I wrote some years ago about this very man's brother be not all evaporated' [The Service and the Reward. A Memoir of the Late Robert Wilson Roberts, R.N., published 1858].
