Date
5 Feb 1840
Description

Docketed “Respecting the character of John Cook.” The half of the sheet containing the actual letter is wanting. The remaining half bears a printed description of the necessary qualifications for various posts of engineer – presumably Cook had applied to the East India Co. for a job and Mason wrote to Brown for a reference.
