I have been acquainted with Mr Nathan Kendall of this place for several years. I have known him as a civil Engineer, Superintendent of a Rail Road and otherwise as a business man. He is a very intelligent man and efficient in the discharge of all his duties. He is regarded as an upright and honest man & he is ? From my acquaintance with him I should say that he would be a competent with any station he might aspire to.
