5)Response to request.
"Dear Otto!
I have enclosed the entire period of service for you, but unfortunately I have had to find out that according to the entries in the log book you were discharged on May 22nd, 1915 and according to your military discharge certificate you only voluntarily enlisted on June 11th, 1915, so you could not have enlisted from the factory, which is also clear from the interruption between May 22nd and June 11th, 1915. Therefore, your military service cannot be included in your period of service.
If you ever run out of time, you can look at the log book yourself.
Best regards !"
