Dear Admiral,

All of us have had a chance to review your confinement material, which I am returning herewith. We are still of the conviction that your story should be published in an effort to allow a broader audience to be touched by your courage, conviction and patriotism. It is our feeling, however, that you will need a strong collaborator and toward that end, I will look forward to hearing from you with your feelings regarding whether or not you would like to proceed immediately. I'm sorry for the delay, however we have looked into this quite thoroughly, and that takes some time.

Happiest Holidays,

JAMES M. GRIFFIN
