It was indeed a pleasant surprise to
receive your letter from Tennessee.
When I came in from a detail the
other night I found it on my bunk and
read it by flashlight.
Incidentally, on that detail I had the
honor of driving a British Col. He was
very pleasant, asked questions about
American sports—golf particularly.
Last Sunday I went to visit St.
