New York, June ist, 1874. 

 Dear Sir : 



In accordance with Resolutions adopted by the Managers of our two 

 Societies, the offices have been removed to the above address, for the purpose 

 of enabling British Immigrants to obtain more readily the best and most 

 trustworthy information. 



Our immediate objects are to aid our countrymen in obtainining employ- 

 ment, and to prevent their unnecessary detention in this city, where the ex- 

 pense of living is so great, and where imposition and fraud are so prevalent ; 

 and it appears to us that in no way can these ends be better promoted than by 

 furnishing, free of charge, perfectly disinterested information. With this 

 view it is proposed to open Registers, on which the names of all applicants 

 for employment, skilled or otherwise, shall be entered, with full particulars as 

 to qualifications, &c., and also, as far as they can be obtained, the names of 

 persons in want of such labor, either in this city or elsewhere. 



The success of this scheme will greatly depend upon our receiving, from 

 time to time, particulars as to the rate of wages in various parts of the coun- 

 try, the cost of living, the chances of employment, means and cost of trans- 

 portation, &c., and we shall much appreciate any assistance which you maybe 

 able to render us in developmg our plans, either by bringing them to the knowl- 

 edge of employers of labor, or by communicating to the office such information 

 as may come under your notice. 



We are, Dear Sir, 



Your most obedient servants, 

 HENRY E. PELLEW, ROBERT GORDON, 



President St. Georges Society, President St. Andrews Society, 



of the City of New York. of the State of New York.
