Dear Sir

It is a matter of personal satisfaction for me to be able to write you in reference to the good work of your son Reg, now a sergeant in B. Co.

A short time ago it was my good fortune to be in a position where I could recommend Reg for promotion to the commissioned rank. Just when he will be able to take his officers course in England it is impossible for me to say. But I have written because I felt it would be of especial interest to you to know that his good work and sterling qualities have not escaped the attention of his company officers.

Yours truly

Walter T. Ruggles.
