My dear General,

I cannot congratulate you too heartily on what I may say your long deferred promotion.  May you be a Major General soon.

I think you will be interested to see the enclosed cutting, which will give you some idea as to how we are “pushing” along.  The organisation that I told you about is now beginning to work, and this is one of the results.

Good luck

Yours ever

L.G.J. Scovell
