My Dear Leonard,
Just a line to congratulate you most heartily on your very well earned V.C. It was a mighty fine effort and has received universal praise, more it is a great Show for 617.
I didn’t know whether this will ever get you but don’t reply anyway as you will get a lot of these.
See you out there.
Yours Ever.
