Summary: Ernest O. Bacon writes to inquire about a vacancy for a machine engraver position, mentioning completion of a seven-year apprenticeship with his father and experience in various machinagraphy processes except the white line process. He offers to start at 25 shillings per week and encloses a sample card of his own design and engraving, except for the lettering. He also notes that his father is interested in selling machinery.
