Dear Doc:

I am in the process of applying for
a commission in the Naval Reserve and would greatly
appreciate your writing a letter of recommendation
for me covering your knowledge and opinion of my
moral character, mental calibre and professional ability.
This letter is to be written in duplicate.

While making out my application, the
chap sitting next to me said “hello” and much to my
surprise it was Eddie Parker of Topeka, He seemed
well on his way toward a splendid commission.

If you would forward this letter to me
at my home address #105 Middle Street, Braintree, at
your earliest convenience, I would certainly appreciate
ite

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

jjh/o
