4 page autograph letter signed by JRT Fullerton - Admiral Sir John Reginald Thomas Fullerton

Embossed crown and Royal Yacht at the head of the first page.

Cowes
August 10th

Dear Miss Robinson
No trouble at all glad to do anything I can.
These are the bald facts which the admiralty look at
Mogg has only 4yrs 6 mths sea time as a man and he has been [    ] of a G.C. Badge which gives him on "good" on his certificate. He is not entitled in any way to a pension. He has not even served his first term of ten years and the admiralty are not bound to give him even a gratuity - (nor would they have given him £7 even I fancy had he not been on board the "Victoria") His conditions of service were well known to him on entry or at any rate afterwards and the conditions of service in the army are entirely different and there is no comparison whatever.
If he gets anything more from the admiralty he will be a very fortunate man. Remember there are scores more in something of the same state though they may not have belonged to "Victoria" + it would be impossible for the Admiralty to listen favourably to all the petitions.
I have put all this pretty straight - but you must not think I do not sympathize with the man. I see so many cases somewhat similar - and am so very sorry for the poor fellows - but it is no use holding out any hopes of a pension or any further gratuity - as I have said he was lucky to have got £7 even
Believe me
Sincerely yrs
JRT Fullerton [initials not entirely clear]
