Hon. A. L. Knapp M.C.

Washington DC.

Dear Sir:

Understanding that there is a vacancy in this Congressional District I recommend for appointment to the Naval School at Newport Rhode Island a son of Capt. J. S. Southwick of Christian County.

I would feel personally obliged if this appointment can be made, being well satisfied that the young man would honor the position.

Very Respectfully &c

Richd Yates
