Leading Comedy
Dear David
It is a pleasure to put a little something in your log book. The above caricature complete with beard will certainly bring back pleasant memories for you as it does me. “The man who came to dinner” will always be something to look back on amidst the unpleasant days of POW life, as an achievement by you – I thought it was a great piece of acting on your part & it gave me great pleasure to work under you. I am also not forgetting the “Petrified Forest” which was your first attempt at a POW production. I enjoyed every performance Dave. I wish you every success in the future & hope that we meet some day in civil street, where we will no doubt try a few “Jefferson Specials”
Good Luck Old Boy
Yours sincerely
