Writes that he received Mr. FitzSimons's letter regarding employment for Mr. Hall (see GLC02437.04297). Regrets to inform him that there are no vacancies in his office, so he cannot offer Mr. Hall a job, even though he would like to help Mr. Hall, who seems to be a worthy character who suffered many misfortunes.
