New York, 1918. First Edition. Letter. Very good. The bearer, Mr. William A. Seibert of NY City served as a private under my command in B. Co. 7th infantry NYNY. He performed all duties required of him in a faithful and soldierly manner. He was prominent in athletics in which he proved himself self confident and game.
