Dear Robotham, This is a very tardy but nonetheless sincere note of congratulation on your tank appointment. I suppose it is too much to hope that we shall shortly see a sort of silent-speak tank with streamlined bodywork, but I am quite sure you will put some real urge into land warfare and I wish you all good fortune in the task. Sincerely yours, Laurence Pomeroy. | ||
