Sir:--Having become interested in the results from wearing your
underwear by myself and my men, I am pleased to state their own
experience, which is satisfactory in _every particular_, as to
protection against the cold and changeable temperature; raising the
general condition of the body, and maintaining an even temperature
under all the trying conditions; does _raise their efficiency_.
Personally, I can corroborate the good effect from wear, through the
most trying conditions.
Very respectfully,
JOHN REDELL.
