Date: July 15, 2026
From: Dr. Sylvia Sterling, Coordinator of the Maritime History Symposium
To: Captain Arthur Pendelton, Director of the Heritage Port Museum

Dear Captain Pendelton,

I am writing to formalize our request to access the logbooks of the vessel *HMS Sovereign* for our upcoming Maritime History Symposium on October 12, 2026.

To comply with your museum's preservation policy, we have completed the archival access request form. As requested, we are submitting this request exactly 14 days before our scheduled preparatory visit on August 1, 2026. Along with this letter, I have enclosed a copy of my academic credentials and the mandatory $50 preservation fee receipt. We understand that photography is strictly prohibited, but we would like to request permission to use a digital scanner, which your guidelines indicate is permitted if requested in writing at least 10 days prior to the visit.

We look forward to your confirmation.

Sincerely,
Dr. Sylvia Sterling
Coordinator, Maritime History Symposium
