Dear Geott're7: 

I had meant to answer your letter of 27 December 

auch ere th1s 1 but I thiilk 7ou will understand wb)' I 

hs.ve to put things off. There is so much to do! It gets 

me down. 

I hope that you have gotten settled in your new job and are finding things turning out entirel7 to your satisfaction. · 

La.st veek or maybe ·1t was two weeks ago, ve had the 

pleasure or a visit froJI! StJobn. She came to dinner with 

us and brought the young lady. I imagine that StJohn has 

written you of her visit and how famously I got along with the da.ughter--or was it the other way •round?? She 

seems to be a very nice child and we enj07ed having both 

her and StJ'obn. We hope to. see more o~ them both as the 

weather improves. 

Both Barbar& and John are ava.7, the latter being nov 

in·the Army, so things are ver7 quiet. One or the disadvantages of being in our line of work is the necessit7 tor 

being so fragmentary and circumlocutionar7 in letters. 

We aball have to save up notes tor personal discussion. 

Please give Jq very cordial greetings to Marr-Johnson 

and to &DJ' or 'lII1' other tr1ends in your vicinity. I have 

beard ver1 faint rumors ot the possibility of a conf'e:rence 

but think thia 11111 have to wait until atter V-E da7. It 

would certainly be nice to have a gathering ot the clan then. 

I continue to Jliss your friendly visits and·hope that some 

da7 7ou Will be back here. 

With ve~7 best regards• I am 

Sincerely, 

· Major Geoffrey G. Stevens.

Dear Geoffrey:

t?LCl"<L D 

20 November 1944. 

I vaa very glad to get 7our letter a tev days ago and 

to learn that 7ou arrived safely. It is too bad that you have 

already begun to sutfer from the climate, but by the time this. 

reaches you it is possible tbat 7ou w111 be on your way to a 

different climate having aggravations_all ot its own. 

We bad a nice letter trom StJobn. It vas a nice rambling 

note "•lling about . her manifold acti vi t1e1r. Apparently she is 

quite happy, and the otfspring as well as the-Flicker are tlour1all.1ng. 

Thank you ver7 much tor your kind words ot appreciation regarding your stay with ue. I shall miss you a lot. It was 

very easy to get cooperation in all directions so far as you 

were concerned. I don't see. aa much ~f- Cheadle as I did of you, but maybe.he is a bit diffident. I ctrep in occ&s1on&lly to see 

how he is getting along, a~d ve h&ve bad h1m out to the house. 

Things are·mov1.ng along in a very nice shape. I hear no 

further remarks about a conference in Washington. I thought the 

conterence was going to be 1n Delhi, but ma7be that idea was overruled in favor of Washington again. 

I stopped in the other day to.chat with Lt. Colonel Lewis. 

He tells me that he is ver7 much pleased with the vayt.hings are 

working out and also tbat the people here, especially ~¥ G-2, 

are bapp7 with the results of ·the area B_l>ec1al1zat1on~ome 

good stuf'f' has recentl7 come :from the T/A group. ,, 

, .- Colonel Corderm&n has just left for a trip toward the vest 

and will be gone abou\ 45 days. - I wish I could have gone along, but: it was not in the cards. , i 

j We are g~ing to miss 7ou a lot, but shall try to make U'P 

:ror!1 1 t a bit in a personal wa7 by generall7 keeping an e7e on 

siJohn and insisting that she stop in to keep up our friendship. 

', -

With ver7 best greetings to you and to all my friends a~ 

B.P., or at the o'her place it 7ou are already there, I am, 

Sincerely 7ours, 

DEGRE:)

~ t,u,, 

I have managed ~o get home safely and have been sent off ·ctleave to· have a look at my fdily. 1 thAnn is more than 

flourishing but the sudden change from the tag end of a Washington . . . summer to the beginnings of an English winter ha11• give!.i me a 

streaming cJld ever since the day I arrived. 

. I went do-.vn to BP and saw John and a few other people and 

was immediately given ~eave, so I am still iii the dark as to 

what exactly is in store for me in the Ea.st. 

However, I did n•t start this letter to· talk about myself 

but to say how much I have a~preciated during the last three 

years {more or l~ss) the kindness a,nd c1Jope~ation that both 

you and Elizabeth have shown to me and to StJohn. I hope; 

of course, to see you all again at a conference 1n Was~gton 

before very long J 

Sorry you were n•t there when I looked in to make a final 

adieu but it doesn't matter much as I am.very bad at saying 

goodbye and I had been sp"happy at AH (and in-the Munitions) 

that saying goodbye was not the most pleasant thing anyway. 

I am sure thatCheadle and his successors will make even a 

be~ter job of liaising if you and everybod~ give them the·same 

cooperation and encouragement. that you gave tome. 

Give my love ~o ·Mark; I may get around to writing to him 

later· but right_ now there is so much to do. 

Love and be.St wishes tp Elizabeth and to Barbara when you 

write to her.
