Hon. James G. Blaine,
Secretary of State,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
I am informed that Mr. Joshua M. Spencer, of Rising Sun, Indiana, is an applicant for a Consular appointment at Huddersfield England, or some place of like grade.
I take much pleasure in testifying to Mr. Spencer's fitness for such a position. I have known him a great many years and believe that he is eminently qualified for a Consularship. He is a good, honest American citizen, capable and intelligent--a man who would discharge the duties of such an office as the one he is applying for, with credit to himself and to his country. In appointing Joshua H. Spencer, the Government would secure a competent and faithful servant.
Yours truly,
Thomas A. Edison
