Dear Mr. Critchfield:
Once more I want to thank you for meeting with me on
Tuesday. Your recollections add an important dimension to our
study and--we hope--enable us to portray yesterday's events
with greater accuracy and sensitivity than otherwise we would
be able to do. Your long relationship with Mr. Helms has
placed you in a particularly advantageous position to provide
us with insights, and we feel fortunate to have been able to
tap you as a resource.
Please convey as well my gratefulness to Mrs. Critchfield,
who bailed me out of what might have been a very aggravating
situation. The battery recharged itself and I have had no
further trouble. I have learned, however, not to leave my
headlights on.
I am mindful of your comments in our last few minutes
together on Tuesday and hope that when you find the time to
commit your experiences to paper, you will draw upon the
resources of the History Staff.
Upon returning to my office after our interview, I
discovered that our secretary, worked for you for
many years. She remembers those days w_-ith gusto and asks that
I pass on her greetings.
Again, please know of my appreciation for your cheerful
willingness to give me so much of your time.
Sincerely yours,
STAT
