TLS signed “Curtis E. LeMay,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Headquarters, Strategic Air Command letterhead, October 10, 1955. Letter to George C. Sullivan, founder of arms engineering company ArmaLite. In part: “You are right about the .308 rifle. The feeding is the only fault I have been able to find with it…the bolt does not always catch the next shell when it is pushed forward. I think a redesigned cartridge follower plus a little careful grinding on the side of the receiver would eliminate the trouble. As soon as I can get to it I plan on trying to make a new follower and try it out.” In very good condition, with moderate scattered dampstaining and a rusty paperclip impression to the top, light overall creases, and a tiny tear to the upper right.
