This is to certify that I am personally acquainted with Henry Conkling M. D. of this City, and have been for many years and take pleasure in recommending him to your favourable notice as Medical examiner for sick or Disabled Soldiers (for this or Adjoining Counties) who are home on Furlough and unable to return

And I further believe the Dr will act in good faith to the Soldiers and the Government and do most respectfully ask his appointment
