[underlined] Congratulations [/underlined]
It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you as a member of the Caterpillar Club.
As is customary, we are having the official insignia of the Club made and engraved especially for you. Unfortunately, however, due to supply restrictions, this may not be received for several months, but will be sent to you at the first opportunity.
In the meantime we have pleasure in sending your membership certificate, which you will find attached, with our best wishes, in recognition of the emergency parachute jump which you made.
CATERPILLAR CLUB.

Dear Mrs. Harrison,
[underlined] Sgt. J. C. Harrison. [/underlined]
I was very glad to hear from the above that he had saved his life with an Irvin chute, and at his request have pleasure in sending his membership card herewith.
I regret that due to supply restrictions we are not able to order Caterpillar Pins for Prisoners until after the War, but one will be sent as soon as available.
Please excuse the form letter, but this is due to pressure of work.
With best wishes for his early return, I am,
Yours sincerely,
Leslie L. Irvin.
