My dear Friend:
The bearer of this letter is my son-in-law, Lieutenant Commander J. W. Bunkley, who married my youngest daughter, Sally. He has been talking to me about a matter which concerns his health and his future; and I conceived the idea,—being myself unable to give him any advice which I considered as at all valuable,—that the best thing would be to have him talk it all over with you, as a friend of mine, and, therefore, as I take it, his friend as well.
It is a thing of great importance to him, and I don’t want him to act without full information of the best manner of proceeding, so that he may be sure that he has acted in the interest both of his health and his duty. I wish you would counsel with him just as you would counsel with yourself were you in his exact place.
Give my regards to your wife, and believe me,
Very truly, your friend,
John Sharp Williams
