Dear Colonel Hardie,

I am so pleased that you have seen the notice about our D-Day
project, and I am most 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. Mr. Ryan is at present in Paris, interviewing French
civilians and resistance workers who were in Normandy during the first
hours of the Invasion. He is returning to England shortly, when he
hopes to be able to talk to men and women of the British Forces about
their D-Day experiences. I am sure Mr. Ryan would like to have more
details of your Regiment's activities, so may I get in touch with you
again when he is back in London?

Yours sincerely,
