Dear Mr. Curling,

I felt that I should personally write to thank you for the wonderful contribution which you have made in the preparation of the D-Day book which I am writing. The material in the questionnaire you sent me has been a groat help in filling in many of the details of the work done in Normandy that day by members of the British Services.

It will probably be a full year before the book is completed and on its publication in The Reader's Digest under the story "The Longest Day", it will give us great pleasure to send you a copy. Yours sincerely, (Cornelius J.Ryan)
