Dear Ben:

It looks like my timing was a little bit off when I mentioned the subject in my last letter. However, it seems that I wasn't a bad prophet except for my dates. Sincere congratulations. I know I am only one of the many who were most pleased to learn of your promotion to Brigadier General and wish you continued success in your career.

Sincerely,
