While it may appear to be effective at first glance, While it may appear to be effective at first glance, Storrs, or the reader for that matter, is not aware if Lendrum has known Williams as a friend or a superior. Storrs may take it that Lendrum is close with Williams and is writing the letter out of obligation so his friend may be hired. This makes his point less effective. In Lendrum’s letter to Storrs, he claims Williams is the “master of the valley for mining engineering.” However further examination of the letter shows that Lendrum exaggerated this point. In the closing Lendrum writes that Storrs has people just as good as Williams, and, realizing his mistake, quickly negates the statement so it reads that Storrs does not have men as good as Williams. While this mistake would go unnoticed in a typed letter, Lendrum hand wrote it and the mistake stayed, causing his appeal to logos to be less
