Major Edwin Metcalf

                       

My dear Sir.

The bearer James Armstrong was my faithful servant during military service in the United States Army.

                       

I can recommend him as an honest temperate, faithful, man. You cannot do better than to employ him in that service. He was with us on the battle field & did good service with his rifle

                                                                       

Yours truly W^m H Brown

Late Captain Co. E.

1^st Regt R.I.V. Militia
