Dear General:

I don't know when it's given me so much pleasure to address a letter "Dear General." Although this note is belated, it is none-the-less sincere in its feeling that the promotion was well deserved -- and further, that it couldn't have happened to a finer guy.

I hope this is just the first of more to come.

Sincerely,
