9 Nov. 1954

Dear Ben,

Your recent promotion to Brigadier General was no surprise to me, for I knew it was only a 
matter of time. Missie and I were very happy to hear of it, and I know you and Aggie were overjoyed.

My association with you during our Pentagon tour was one that shall not be forgotten. I always looked forward to personal discussions with you, and have the highest regard for your ability. I certainly hope that our paths may cross again.

Sincerely,
