<p>A referral letter given to Reginald Kirchin from his employer, The Harris Granite Quarries Company.</p>
<p>The letter, dated May 3, 1922 at Salisbury, NC reads as follows:</p>
<p>To Whom it May Concern.</p>
<p>Reginald Kirchin started work in the employ of The Harris Granite Quarries Co. as an Apprentice Granite Cutter on Monday morning March 31, 1919.</p>
<p>On account of scarcity of work this pla(n)t suspended operations on March 25, 1922.</p>
<p>He has lost eight months on account of plant being idle at various times, otherwise his time would have expired at about the time of plant shutting down.</p>
<p>Mr. Kirchin has always taken a deep interest in his chosen occupation and has made good in every way.</p>
<p>The high quality of work turned out and the exteme hardness of Balfour Pink Granite, put a high test on a man's ability, and Mr. Kirchin has made good on all work assigned to him.</p>
<p>He is steady and reliable and you will make no mistake in giving him employment.</p>
<p>Very truly yours</p>
<p>The Harris Gr. Quarries Co</p>
