Sir, |
|
This will be handed you by Mr Charles M Williams of the
house of Hudson Humphries & Williams of this city -- whom we are
pleased to accredit as a gentleman -- a thorough business man and
one that will not only discharge any duties that may be assigned to
him with credit to himself but usefulness to the department in which
he may be employed. His bond can be executed for any amount required
and we hope that our endorsement may enable him to secure the
position desired as we fully recognize the importance of having
practical business men in places of such importance to the
government. |
