last weekend I received General Cabell's letter
regarding your decision pertaining to my forthcoming
assignment.
I am honored, and indeed very grateful, that you
want me to take over the important position of

is made that I may be the first person to;inform

June for duty in Headquarters.
I am looking forward to my next assignment with
enthusiasm and confidence. With highest regards, I am
