Dear Congressman Sorivener:

It is indeed a pleasure for m to write you concerning the
high qualifications of Ogden S. Jones, Jre, for consideration
for an appointment at the United States ‘ilitary Academy at
' West Point, New York. :

I have known Ogden Jones for a number of years and have found
him to be of the highest intellectual type. lie is a splendid
athlete, excelling in the high jump and hurdles in track. I.
have had the pleasure of playing golf with him a number times
and find him a sterling competitor and a high grade gentleman,
He is an exceptional student.

He is highly regarded among his fellows and has the added
ability to make friends in all walks of life. At the present
time he is serving in the 14th Armored Division of the Seventh

Army hs t
In my opinion he will be a real contribution t the Military

Academy. It gives me great pleasure to testify to this young
man's character, ability and standing in this commmnity.
