Your thoughtful note of January 21 in
regard to the confirmation of my reappointment
is very much appreciated*
While I expect my friends, like yourself,
to be tolerant of my continuance here at least in
these war days, I am gratified to have your word of
approval, and pleased that you took the trouble to
say so.
With best regards,
Sincerely yours,
