__ Washington, D. C. ·
Dear Dr. Rankin: I _
I was delighted to see in the Courier-Journal
of December 12th an article stating that you had been
promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. Please ac-
cept my very best congratulations. However, you really
could sue the Courier—Journal for libel on account of _
the picture they published of you. I
I realize the sacrifice you are making in doing
this Army work, and I am sure it is only from the highest
sense of duty, all of which adds to the admiration and
» affection that I have always felt for you. I hope that
it will not be long before you will be back and can give
those who need it the benefit of your wonderful skill as
a Su1°gG01‘1 and as 8. man •
