Mr., Rupert Burstan,
i. Middletown, Del,
DEAR SIR:-As the result of the recent
examinations held in Wilmington for the
purpose of selecting a person to be
named as cadet to the United States
Naval Academy, l am informed that you
have passed the highest on the Iist, and
in accordance with my agreement | will
send your name as Principal to the Secre-
tary of the Navy if you will notify me at
once that you desire the appointment.
Your passing grade was S7.S9.
Very truly yours,
VIM. H. HEALD.
Small wonder Captain Csldwel's Blue
HENS" chickens become such noted cock
fighters in that company of Col. HasIet's
regiment equally famous for their dash
and grit in Revolutionary times-it was
Delaware stock you knowl Again and
again and yet again it has been the agree
able duty Of The TRANSCRIPT to point out
with appreciative pride the many in
stances wherein the superiority OF our
States "Blue Hen" progeny has been
manifested in highly successful careers in
Business, Art, Law, Letters, &c. We are
now to record still another, as the above
copy Of letter from our Representative
Hon. Wm. H. Heald attests. Mr. Rupert
Burstan who has so creditably distanced
his eleven competitors from various parts
of the state, in the examinations held for
an appointment as Cadet to the U. S.
Naval Academy, is the younger son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. s. Burstan, we'll known
merchant in our town. Young Mr.. Bnrs.
tan got the high general average of 8789
per cent, the highest attained by any
one Of the dozen applicants seeking the
position. He deserves much praise for |
his notable success which not only confers |
great honor upon himself but also upon
his parents. What enhances the accom- |
plishment is the fact that Mr.. Burstan is |
yet in his sixteenth year. He is modest
young gentleman and we predict for him
a creditable career in the Navy. He will
il is believed. be able to pass the physical
examination. The TRANSCRIPT warmly |
corgratulates Mr.. and Mrs Burstan, and |
also the Principal and teachers in our
