Dear Mr. Humberstone,

I am now able to return to you the copy of "The Bed Devils", which you so kindly lent to us recently. We have wade copious notes from it, and it is giving us quite vital material for our book on D-Day. Thank you very much indeed for lending it to us.

It will probably be a full year before the book is oompleted and on its publication in The Reader's [underscored], under the title of "The Longest Day", we shall arrange for a copy to be sent to you.

Yours sincerely ,

( Joan Ogle Isaacs) Research Editor
