Dear Arthur:

After discussing the situation in regard to
Lieutenant L. P. Davis, I find that he has definitely
Gecided not to stay in the service, as he has been
passed over and his future career has been ruined by
the fitness report recently sent in.

There is an indicatic the fitness

report sent in by his Command: icer was

=

more on grudge then fairness. i pe that his

ean be cleared before he leaves the service. 4H

would like to have his resignation accepted as soon
as possible and I could not advise him otherwise
under the circumstances. To a layman, such as myself,
I believe that there has been an injustice done to a
young man who chose the Navy as his career in life.

Will you thank Captain McFarlane for going
over Davis’ record and I hope he recommends a hearing.

I can't thank you enough for giving me so
much of your time while I was in Washington.

Sincerely,
