LeRoy Dresser declining to write a letter of recommendation: "...I do not know Kiernan personally, so that a letter from me to Devery or any one else would ne in the shape of asking a favor, and to do that means that I should be expected to reciprocate. I have steadfastly refused to write for any policeman [policeman is written holographically over the word "man", which has been crossed out] save to tell my personal experiences, and that is to write simply such a letter as a Colonel writes about a man of his regiment who wishes promotion..."
