it did not occur to him
when he saw you to
recommend (as your Successor)
“a Mr. Hart who
“has been in the Bombay
“Public Works Dept for
“some years: & who is a
“very scientific Engineer
“with at the same time a

W. Clark Esq.

Letter to William Clark: 2 December 1873, page 2

“good deal of practical
“experience.
“He would be a capital
“man for the post, if
“the Bombay Govt. would
“spare him.
“Mr. Hart is a man
“of about 35 or 40 &
“no doubt knows the
“vernacular: a great
“advantage.”

You may know something
of him – Mr. Hart,
Believe me,
in haste,      Yours sincerely
