Sir, The Office of Principal Land Sea-Coal Meter having become vacant by the death of Mr. R. Dixon, and being encouraged by many very sincere and respectable friends, I presume to offer myself a candidate, and earnestly to solicit the favour of your vote and interest, to succeed to that appointment. The respectable Inhabitants of the Ward of Bridge, did me the Honour during Twenty-Eight successive Years, to elect me one of their Representatives in Common-Council. I have discharged the Duties of that Appointment with all possible Fidelity and Attention, and, during a much longer Period, have carried on an extensive Trade in the Woolen Manufacture. But some very severe and unforeseen Losses, with a large Family, for whose Welfare I am justly anxious, will, I trust, apologize for my earnest Solicitations to your Patronage. Should I, Sir, honoured with your Support, fortunately attain the Object of my present Pursuit, it will be the chief Study of my Life to prove myself worthy of your Choice, by a faithful and diligent Discharge of the Duties of that important Office, for the general Welfare of this great City. I have the Honour to be, Sir, With the greatest Respect, Your most faithful and obedient Servant, William Anderson. Gracechurch-Street, October 21, 1799.
Anderson, William, active 1799.Date: 1799]
