Columbia, S.C.
Nov 10 /65.

I have been very intimately acquainted with Mr John Williams, for a number of years, and have always found him honest, industrious, and an excellent young man of business.

He enlisted & re-enlisted in the 8th Mech. Infy. /My old reg't/ was promoted Lieut. and at the end of the war received an honorable discharge. I cheerfully & heartily recommend him for the within named position, believing he will render me valuable assistance.
