WAR DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF WASHINGTON, D.C. October 18, 1938. Dear Seligmann: Thanks for your gracious note of October seventeenth. I have been Assistant Chief of Staff, head of the War Plans Division since last July, but this last assignment is as Deputy Chief of Staff. I hope very sincerely that I may have the pleasure of seeing you here in Washington, and I want Mrs. Marshall to meet you and to have you in our home. You and I have a great deal to talk over and I shall thoroughly enjoy seeing you. I heard the other day that Cochet dropped dead while riding a horse near Besancon. With warm regards, Faithfully yours, [[??]] G.C. Marshall. Major Germain Seligmann 3 East 51st Street New York City.
