| My present salary is £182 p.a. and I suggest a similar figure for the work in question, or I would consider a slightly more moderate sum if the prospects are good. I can produce excellent references, & believe that experimental work is exactly suited to my temperament. Although my age is only 21 therefore, I trust you will favour me with an interview. Yours faithfully Francis J Allen. | ||
