Hotel de la Paix，Singapore， S.S.，February 1st， 1912
To His Excellency Sun Yat Sen.
Your Excellency，
I have the honor to state that about two months ago， I was asked if I was willing to proceed to China to assist in organizing and drilling Republican forces.I replied that I should be willing and pleased to do so， but that for pecuniary reasons， I would be unable to leave Singapore without an advance of pay to enable me to settle my affairs， before leaving the Colony， and also to pay for my passage to post of destination.
I was subsequently informed that there would be no difficulty in this matter and requested to write an official application for employment to your Excellency.This I did and also forwarded a copy of my Record of Service in the British Army.I was told that these papers had been duly forwarded.A fortnight ago， I heard that every thing had been satisfactorily arranged， that it was only a matter of a few days and my services (and those of others）had been accepted.I now hear that no foreigners are required.
In case my Record of Service has not been received， I would state that I was for 17.5 years in the British Army and served in two campaigns.
I enclose a letter of introduction which I regret being unable personally to present.
I need scarcely say that if employed， I will do my utmost to render loyal service.
Apologizing for troubling you and trusting to receive a favorable reply.
I have the honor to be Your Excellency's obedient servant.
A.Y.Tozer

新加坡拉派克斯酒店，1912年2月1日
致孙逸仙阁下。
阁下：
大约两个月前，我荣幸地被问及是否愿意前往中国协助组织和训练共和国的军队。我回答说，我很愿意和高兴，但由于经济原因我不能离开新加坡，没有预付工资我就不能在离开新加坡之前解决我的事务，并支付我前往目的地的费用。
我随后获悉，此事不会有任何困难，只需向阁下提交正式申请。申请我已提交，还转发了一份我在英国军队服役的记录。有人告诉我，这些文件已妥为转交。两周前我得知件件事安排得令人满意，只需几天就办好，我的工作申请（和其他人一起）已经通过。现在，我又听说不需要外国人了。
如果我的服役记录还没有收到，我声明我在英国军队服役了17年半，参加过两次战役。
随函附上一封介绍信，很遗憾不能亲自呈递。
无须说，如果我被录用，会尽最大努力提供忠诚的服务。
很抱歉打扰您，相信会得到一个满意的回复。
A.Y.图泽 谨上
