Dear Adams,

Your letter of the 5th has just reached me this morning, I am not likely to forget you and have often wondered what you were doing, there is no man I know of whom I would be more willing to help in any way in my power. I am writing to Capt. Ensor. urging your claims for consideration, and asking him if it would help if I saw some of the people at Headquarters in Belfast here.

I will write you again when I hear from Capt. Ensor.

Yours faithfully,

D. Graham Shillington

Dear Major Shillington

With reference to your letter about John Adams. Very few recruits are being taken on now and I have almost 300 waiting application so you can see there are lots waiting long over two months.

From your recommendation this seems a very suitable an and will give him a call as soon as possible.

I give every preference to old ninth men.

Wishing you every luck in the new year.

Yrs sincerely

CHE
