Dear. Jack,
A having few'-niahts ago I was- dinne r with a good
friend who is an author
of some note. e men lone o me a she is currently
working on a'story of-the Astor family. She has a problem
in that she needs some information on Captain John Astor,
who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.. Specifi-
cally, she is looking for.verification of a report that he
served in convoys across the North Atlantic at one point,
perhaps being a convoy commander. She asked how she could
track this down"- I took` the liberty of giving her your
name and suggesting that she contact you.
Just wanted to letyouknow that if you do hear from
her she, is a very reputable person and I would be most
grateful if youcould give her any help.
Yours,
STANSEIELD TURNER
