A letter and certificate of Commendation, arrived today,

Unfortunately the envelope was slightly damaged and crushed, on its journey to the uK.

My apologies for the creases in the certificate.

Dear Mr. Rawlinson:

Your name has been mentioned several times as being involved in a very positive way in Confederate heritage preservation. Knowing this, the officers and men of the Kentucky Division, SCV, during our annual reunion this past June, voted you a Certificate of Commendation from this Division and instructed the Division Commander to provide such to you. Your involvement in our Cause is inspirational to us and we take great pleasure in recognizing your efforts on behalf of our ancestors.
