[inserted] Extracts [end inserted]
21st July, 1958.
G.C. Stunell, Esq., 36, Elgar Hoad, Sholing, Southampton.
Dear Mr. Stunell,
Further to my letter of the 14th May, I had hoped that by now Mr. Ryan would be back in London and that we could have arranged for him to see you. Uhforlunately, however, he has been delayed on the Continent, but in the meantime I should very much like the opportunity of talking to you about your D-Day experiences, particularly as the questionnaire you completed for us was so interesting. I wonder, therefore, if you would very kindly telephone me at this office (reverse the charges), so that we could arrange a mutually convenient time.
Yours sincerely,
(Joan Ogle Isaacs ) Research Editor

G.C. Stune11, Esq., 36, Elgar Road, Sholing, Southampton.
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)
