| Dear Sir, |
| I have learned through a
friend that you have left Tennessee and have an idea of going back to
your old profession Civil Engineering. If so the opportunity affords
me pleasure to add my recommendation to others of your qualification
for such service as I had ample opportunity of judging while the
Florida, Atlantic & Gulf Central RR was being constructed, on
which you were engaged and of which I was superintendent. I beg you
will use this letter if it will at all strengthen your applications. |
| I am very Respectfully |
| Yours & |
| T E Buckman |
| |
| We fully concur in the foregoing
recommendation. |
