Dear Lieut: 

It is a pleasure for me to inform you that after due and careful consideration, I have this day decided to appoint you co-pilot and chief mechanic on my trans-Atlantic flight to Rome and return. 

From the references submitted, I have every reason to believe that you are the type of man desired for so hazardous an undertaking.

Assuring you that I will do every thing in my power to make our flight a safe and successful on for the good and benefit of our Race, and bring to them that immortal glory of Aeronautical fame. 

Hoping that you will prepare yourself physically and mentally for the strain that such a flight necessitates, I have the pleasure to be 

Yours for the Race Advancement, 

Herbert Julian
