Letter from Leonard Cheshire to Flying Officer R A Stult

Letter from Leonard Cheshire to Flying Officer R A Stult

States he would be pleased to have Stult there but he cannot affect postings. Suggest Stult put in an application for him and crew. He would need to come with his crew as it would be impossible to find him one there.

Dear

Thank you very much for your letter. I should be very pleased to have you here with the Squadron, but you must understand it is not possible for me to affect this posting.

If you would still like to come, would you put an application in from your end, together with the applications from your crew.

I am afraid that if you came with out a crew it would be practically impossible to for me to find one.

I shall be very pleased to hear from you further,
Yours


Wing Commander
