Dear
May I send you my most sincere thanks for the very lovely diary which I have just received. It is a thing that I have always wished to have, but never succeeded in getting since the war.
Apart from its usefulness it will be a pleasant memory of the three years I spent flying Halifaxes
At the present I have a Lancaster Squadron and not the same opportunity of meeting you. None the less, I sincerely hope we will meet again before very long.
Yours
Wing Commander
