ARTIFACT:
These are two letters of commendation for meritorious service issued to Patrolman John J. Donovan Division 15, accompanied by two cover letters. All four pieces are signed by the then-Commissioner of the city of Boston Police Department, Leo J. Sullivan. The letters of Commendation relate to an arson that took place in Boston and a car theft/series of robberies that took place in Medford, Cambridge and Everett. The original envelope is included in the lot and all the signatures are real, not mechanically reproduced.

ITEM NOTES:
These letters are from a large assortment of police badges and memorabilia that I will be listing over the next few months.
CONDITION:
9 (Excellent-Near Mint): The letters and commendations show little signs of wear or aging though the envelope is well worn around the edges and would be considered around a 5. LEEX SEEX5/11
GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
