Mr WM Babbitt has been a Clerk in my office, for the past four years having risen from a subordinate position to that of Chief Clerk & Cashier. 
He is a young man of the strictest integrity energetic & faithful to the highest degree, & will be sure to succeed in anything he undertakes. 
I most cordially endorse & reccomend him.
