[[preprinted]] CHARLES D. CHITTY, JR. COLONEL, U.S.A.F. [[/preprinted]] 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, [[signed]] Charlie [[/signed]]
