Dear Mr. Stunell,
I am so glad you saw the notice about our D-Day assignment, and
I am grateful to you for getting in touch with us so promptly. Our
book is to be written by Mr. Cornelius Ryan, a former War Correspondent,
and is to be a detailed hour-by-hour description of the first twenty-
four hours of D-Day as seen through the eyes of the British, American
and Canadian Forces, the inhabitants of Normandy, the Free French
Resistance workers, the Germans who manned the Atlantic Wall and the
civilians who waited in London, Baris, Berlin ...

We should be most grateful if you would kindly let us have
some details of your own experience on that day. A questionnaire
is enclosed for your use together with a stamped and addressed
envelope. Mr. Ryan is at present in Paris, but he will be back
in London shortly to interview men and woaaen of the British Forces
aboat their D-Day experiences. I will get in touch with you again
when I know more of his plans.

Yours sincerely,

(Joan Ogle Isaacs)
