Dear General Davis:

I was extremely pleased to see your name on the promotion list to Brig. Gen. It always has been refreshing to recall the challenging nature of our conversations on mutual problems, and especially to reflect on your efforts to get the Air Staff to recognize some of the very real problems we faced in the Korean show.

I trust that we again shall have the opportunity to discuss problems at hand. In the meantime, may I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes for continued success.

Sincerely yours,
