myself? Great as the expectations naturally are from anybody desirous to fill the position of Professor in such a College as King's College is, I can confidently say that I am fully competent to teach those two languages there. I have lived the greatest part of my life in the East & chiefly amongst Turks; I have been in a Turkish College, have had transactions with the Ottoman Porte & have occupied a position in Her Majesty's Service. I have most valuable & interesting documents at my disposal to facilitate to the pupil the study of Turkish. In the same time I beg to be honored with your advice whether I cd [ie, could] with propriety remain in the Dept where I am in case I shd [ie, should] become a lecturer, or whether I should enter the theological Department at once. I have the honor to be Revd & dear Sir Your most obedt Servt [ie, obedient Servant] G Leitner.
