Unidad documental simple 1 - Testimonial for Henry Brown by George Wilfrid Blenkin

1 folded sheet.

On embossed notepaper for Emmanuel College, Cambridge. - Saw a good deal of Brown during his seven years at Trinity; came into 'closer contact with the members of the kitchen staff one summer when I coached a winning crew of theirs for the Town regatta [and] was able to judge of several of them in their ordinary life as well as in their work'; Brown did not then row in the boat, but Blenkin was 'struck by the keen interest which he took in the college generally'. Thinks Brown would 'prove a thoroughly efficient and trustworthy servant' if successful in his application to become college shoeblack.
