Dear Mr.Stunell,

I am sorry that it was not possible for us to arrange a meeting
to discuss your D-Day activities. However, Mr. Ryan has asked me to
write and thank you for the material you have given him in your questionnaire.
Your account was precisely the sort of thing he was searching for and he
is confident that he will be able to use extracts from it as he is writing
his book.

As you will well appreciate, we are dealing with several thousand
people, and in the book's final edited form, we shall probably be lucky
if we can do more than give each participant a few lines. It is the sum
total, however, of all these accounts which he hopeswill give the book its
accuracy and unbiased presentation.

We have one more request to make of you. In order to extract some
material from your questionnaire, we will need your signature to the attached
release. A stamped and addressed envelope is attached for your use.

It may well be a year before the manuscript is published in The
Reader's Digest, but at that time we will duly send you a copy of the issue
with the story "The Longest Day”.

Yours sincerely,

(Joan Ogle Isaacs)
