Dear General Rankin: §
5
Sincere congratulations to you on your well E
deserved promotion to the grade of Brigadier General. §
Probably to one like yourself who has received so §
many well deserved honors this one may seem to be E
of little importance. It is, however, in my opinion E
a tribute to your professional standing and your E
` personal accomplishments. In addition, our Govern- E
ment through the promotion of you, a leader of the E
medical profession and the president of the American I
Eedical Association, has manifested its sincere =
appreciation of the splendid patriotic work of the !
physicians of this country. §
I am gratified that.our neighbor state 1
Kentucky has been honored by the promotion of one I
I of its distinguished citizens. I wish sincerely  
  that Tennessee could claim you.
  I Sincerely,
*  
Colonel, U. S. Army,
