Cambridge villa， Opposite Pechiko，Jan.31， 1912.
Dr.Sun Yat-sen， President，The Chinese Provisional Government，Nanking.
Dear Mr.President：
I take pleasure in enclosing herewith a list of names and addresses of the graduating class of the Imperial Polytechnic College， written from right to left in the order in which I recommend them， for service in positions that may come up in the future along the lines of their training.I should be pleased to recommend certain students for any particular class of work that may come up.
In our conversation yesterday I stated my intention of leaving China， as I am now negotiating with parties in Japan for a position and am now awaiting their formal acceptance of my terms.However， I want to say that I am planning to leave China， only because of my belief that my services would not be needed for an indefinite time to come because of the unsettlement of affairs politically.I am encouraged to believe， however， from our conversation that I may be wrong in this， and I am therefore taking this opportunity of putting in my application for position with the New Government in any work along the lines of my training and experience， and with this end in view， I attach herewith my record of experience together with copies of letters of credential.
I realize the inopportune time at which this application is made， but it is necessary， as I have already made a partial agreement to go to Japan to make a permanent connection there and in order to change my plans， this application must be acted upon before the time of my acceptance of their offer， which I judge will not be sooner than eight days from the date of this letter.
In the meantime， I shall continue to remain in Nanking，am at your commands and beg to remain，
Yours faithfully，
K.P.Swensen

致中华民国临时政府大总统孙逸仙博士，南京。
尊敬的总统先生：
我很乐意随信附上江南实业学堂毕业班学生姓名及地址名单，从右至左列出原文为竖排。，我根据他们的学历推荐担任将来可能有的职位。我也乐于推荐一些学生担任任何可能有的特别工种。
在我们昨天的谈话中，我谈了我准备离开中国的打算。因我在和日本的同行联系，正待他们正式接受。不过，我想说的是，我计划离开中国仅仅因为我觉得由于政治局势的动荡，将在一个相当长的时期内毋需我的效劳。从我们的谈话中我受到了鼓舞，相信或许我错了。我也借此机会向新政府申请任何适合我学历和经验的工作。我附上我的履历和若干封推荐信。
我知道我这个申请不是时候，但这是必须的。因为我已部分地同意去日本建立某种长期联系。为改变我的计划，这个申请必须在我接到他们的批准前生效。我估计从写这信算起时间至少要8天。
同时，我将继续留在南京听您的指示。
施维森 上
