Dear Sir
I respectfully enclose a letter I have received from Mr Louis A Bell and commend him to your favor. Mr Bell was educated in our schools at New Bedford and is a gentlemanly, efficient and capable man. If his services can be permitted he would be faithful to the Government and would make I believe a valuable officer.
With great respect
Your obd srvt
Thomas D Eliot
