October 31, 1954

Dear Ben,

Being in the United States, we heard about your recent promotion to B.G. Our heartiest congratulations! We sincerely mean, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Jean & I stayed at Alameda until June 1952, when we both got out. I am now attending Georgetown Law School.

We also have an addition, Lisa Marie, who will be two years old December 4.

We came to Washington last year, only to find you had skipped the country.

Take time out from one of your promotion duties to drop us a line.

We're looking forward to seeing you again, and meeting Mrs. Davis, when you return to Washington to take over the Pentagon.

Again, our heartiest congratulations, and do write us.

Sincerely,

Jean, Scotty & Lisa
