Hon. William F. Cody.
Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in testifying to the very efficient service rendered by you “as a scout” in the campaign against the Sioux Indians during the year 1876. Also that I have witnessed your Wild West exhibition. I consider it the most realistic performance of the kind I have ever seen.
Very sincerely, your obedient servant,
George Crook,
Brigadier-General U. S. A.
