I can honestly, say however, that I was not fully prepared for the detailed compilation which Mr. Camp bell has made. It is Indeed a su perlative accomplishment and one which reflects much credit upon both the organization with which it deals and upon Mr. Campbell. I am taking the liber ty of forwarding a copy of this letter to Dr. L. S.Cressman, Di rector of the World War II His tory project, so that when the opportunity presents he may, If he desires, study the material.
