 The bearer, Arthur Cody, is well known to me, he having served under my command for several years as an officer.
 He is well and highly educated, al gentleman and man of the highest ability.
 In thc field operating against hos tile savages he is brave and not rash pushing always forward and accom- plishing results in q satisfactory man ner For services in MindaTao, he was mentioned in orders and I be- lievc' recommended for a medal of honor and in my opinion he is one of the best and most loyal officers that l have ever served with. He is worthy of all considerations for minor derelictions, and the officer under whose command he might be called to serve in action would have not only bravery and intelligence, but would also find this man an un- tiring physical psecimen who could be relied upon socially, morally and officially.
