OFFICE OF THE COMMANDING GIVoton
FORT SAM HnuSTON. TEXAS
1 Auguot 1045?
Major General WIlliam J. Donovan,
Director,
Office or Stratogio Services,
25th and E Streets, N. W.,
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear General Donovan:
I would like to take this opportunity to
express to you my great appreciation for the excellent
services rendered by the 03S Detachment attaahed to
the Seventh Army during the psst year.
As you know, durinK the planning phase for
our landing in Southern France, we were kept informed
of the enemy's strength and activities by the ex-
oellent agent's your mon had placed there. Subsequently,
during the advance from the beaches to the Vosges
Vountains, the OSS teams performed unusual and daring
penetration missions. In the final phases of the
war, from the breach of the Siegfried Line to the
final collapse in Bsivaria, the detachment performed
outstanding intelligence service by penetration of
the German lines, afoot and by parachute, thereby
oupplying timely and important information to the
Seventh krmy.
I have always been impressed with the
superior men that you provided us and, although I
did not become involved in the details of their
operation, Colonel ;Alinn, my G-2, was constantly
ninging their praises for their fine attitude and
determination to produce.
You have every reason to feel proud of the
eccomplishments of the detachment that served the
Seventh Army and I assure you that I will ever be
appreciative of their finA work.

a WR8 with very gr?lat regret that I heard of the
impending departure of LtsColonel John Itabneugh.
RP has worked closely with our organisation since the
summer .-4* 1945, and the present collaboration of Pritish and
American organisations in counter-intelligeace work in this
theatre owes much to him.
In particular, I feel indebted for his inaistenee and
detfrmination that tho British and American Security Services
should wcrk in the closest agreement. He never allowed
temiorarT disagreement on minor detail to divert him from
t!-As objective and, while rightly placing the interests of
Is own country first, remained frank with his colleagues
and gave ue the mrt vr.luable assistance.
I should be gratefL1 if you could inform the Read
Office of Y-2 in Washington of our regret at his derture
and our apomciatien of the work he has performed in S.T.A.0

the winning of the war is recognized, we are too
likely to fail to give dao credit to those who played
leading roles in getting them accepted and properly
used.
The splendid films which Commander Calks and hie
assistants took of our field and range tests were not
only of great assistance in the research and davelo71,-
ment work itself, but were of especial value in bring-
ing about the acceptance of rockets by the fighting
services, in getting them into combat use, promptly,
and in training military personnel in their use.
The contribution which your office has made
through Commander Gilkse skill and effort is certain:4'
not the least of your many and important contributions
to the winning of the war.
Very sincerely yours

Dear General:
On 4 November 1943, the Committee on Civil Affairs Studies
was creat,-d for tne purpose of determining what publicstions,
studies, handbooks and guides should be published for use by
Civil Affairs Officers in areas to be occupied or liberated as
a result of military operations. That committee has had a
membersnip representing the Office of Strategic Services, the
Foreign Sconomie Administration, Department of State, the Office
of Foreign Agricultural Relations, Department of Agriculture,
the Provost Marshal General's Office, and the Civil Affairs
Jivision, r.,epartment special Staffs
The committee has conducted its activities from 22 November
1943 until !_t was dissolved on 4 September 1945. During that
period of time, civil affairs guides relating to all of the areas
occupied or liberated in urope and Japan have oeen prepared
under tne directton and control of the committee. These guides
have proved to be a most valuable aid to the planning for civil
affairs and military government activities and in the operation
of those activities in the field.
This letter is written to express my personal appreciation
for the splendid service and excellent, cooperation rendered by
the members of your staff who participated in the preparation or
civil affairs guides. I know this work to have been a most
important factor contributing to the success of military govern?

to you and those members of your staff my appreciation for their
faithful and untiring work.

With the final termination of the War Rrtu,.
Board about to be effected, I wish to express to
you our appreciation for the services of two or
our representatives who were made available to U.
Board by the Office of Strategic Sonde**,
Mr, Herbert Katzkils service as a Spacial Rep?
resentative of the War Refugee Board, first 14
Turkey and later in Switzerland, was eminently
satisfactory, and his able performanoe of the tasks
assigned to him in that capacity was invaluable to
the Board.
C
We are also very grateful for the privilego of
having had Mr. Iver G. Olsen act as our Special Rep
resentative in Stockholm, where his brilliant per?
formanoe was of such great value to us.
We are indebted to your organization for the
services of both of these men. It was a tremeadouS?
asset to the Board to be able to utilize the ser-
vices of Mr. Olsen and to have Mr. Kattki assigned
to us. Please accept our sincere thanks for your
cooperation and generosity in this matter.

assisted in editing the prefectural manuals prepared by that section. Further-
more, its services in the printing and furnishing of *pea*" naps has been of
inestikable value. The preparation of the set of maps for each at the progras.

Dear General Donovan:
I mould like to bike this opportunit7 t6
express to you my great appreciation for the eximilent
services rendered by the OSS Detachment attaehod to
the Seventh Army during the past year.
As you know, during the planning phase for
our landing in Southern France, me were kept informed
of the enemy's strength and activities by the ex-
cellent agents your men had placed there. Subsequently',
during the advance from the beaches to the Vosges
Mountains, the 08S teams performed unusual and daring
penetration missions. In the final phases of the
war, front the breach of the Siegfried Line to the
final collapse in Bavaria, the detachment performed
outstanding intelligence service by penetration of
the German lines, afoot and by parachute, thereby
supplying timely and important information to the
Seventh Army.
I have always been impressed with the
superior men that you provided us and, although I
did not become involved in the details of their
operation, Colonel Quinn, my G-2, vas constantly
singing their praises for their fine attitude and
determination to produce.
You have every reason to feel proud of the
accomplishments of the detachment that served the
Seventh Army and I assure you that I will ever be
appreciative of their fine work.

My dear General Donovan:
I have just seen "Orders from Tokyo,"
a print of which was forwarded to me from
Washington, and wish to express to you my ap-
preciation of the artistry and skill with which
It was produced. It is truly a moving film,
and, having seen the destruction aad carnage it
portrays, I can assure you it is an authentic
and accurate record of what took place in
Manila before the Japanese were finally driven
out.
I also wish to express my own per-
sonal thanks and that of the Philippine Govern-
ment for the more than generous assistance and
cooperation of the Office of Strategic Services
In the filming and production not only of "Orders
from Tokyo," but also of In liemoriam." In
making the use of its equipment and facilities
available to the Cammonwealth Government, and
in releasing Captain David Griffin,
so that he could photograph these films, the
Office of Strategic Services heks rend ered an in-
estimable service to the Commohweep.th Goveramout
and to the people of the Philippine's, for ilach
we are deeply grateful.

September 4 190
Major-General William J. Donovan,
Office of Strategic Services,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Dear General Donovan:
With the imminent close of EOU, I should like to
take the opportunity of expressing through you my
appreciation and that of the men here for the help
given this joint OSS-FEA (cum USSTAF, from time to time)
shop by R. & A./Washington. This help hs been forth
coming throughout the target period and during the term
of our work on behalf of the Reparations Commission.
Most si.Anificant to me has been the early OSS
recognition of the fact that a shop located outside of
Washington might well be doing something unlike but
quite as important as that being done at home. This
fact --- seemingly self-evident --- appears to be one
which many Washington offices find extremely difficult
to comprehend, even more difficult to tolerate.
over, OSS/Washington recognized the.great importance of
ensuring as speedy and flexible a system of communications
as could be arranged and did a much better job in this
regard than many another agency.
It would be impossible to list all the individuals
within OSS to whom we feel personally indebted. 441411
from the section and division chiefs, however, 'clObld4V
individuals have been outstandingly helpful In answ-pri
specific questions, forwarding prompt replies, ad4riss
themselves to the questions asked --- rather than to
similar but less relevant matters* Please extend our
thanks to them all.

. SUBJECT: Appreciation of Services of OS$ Outpost
THRU: Director, Civil Affairs Division, Office og the
Chief of Staff, Wax'Department, Washington 25,
TO: Director, Office of Strategic Services, 25th and
"En Streets, Washington, D. C.
1. A letter has just been received from 2d Lt Dean
Bowman, Chief of the OSS Outpost presently on duty at this
station, that decision has been reached by your agency to
terminate the Outpost. Upon occasion of the departure of the
Unit, I wish to express my appreciation for the fine work
which they have done while stationed here.
2. Since the Outpost was established here on 1 Feb
ruary 1945 at the request of the Director, Civil Affairs
Division, War Department, Special Staff, Major General
Hilldring, it has furnished services of a very high order.
This Unit has worked mainly with the Military Goverment
Planning and Research Section, and has furnished the bulk
of the source material used by that section in the prepara-
tion of the prefectural manuals covering each of the forty
six (46) prefectures of Japan; the preparation of the tech-
nical manual, The Administration of Ja anese Publja.an4L,P71
vate Finance; and many other drafts of plans, di:rime-its and
technical bulletins for use in Japan. It has also assisted
in editing the prefectural manuals prepared by that section.
Furthermore, its services in the printing and furnishing of
special maps has been of inestimable value, The preparation
of the set of maps for each of the prefectural manuals has
been a major undertaking in itself. Since this cartogreptk
work has not been completed, the delay in closing cut that
section is appreciated.
3. In particular, I wish to commend the wor of 2d
Lt J. J. Joseph and his successor, 2(1 lot 'Dean Bowaian for
their energetic and able performance of duty as
the Outpost. In addition, I wish to comMend-all
of the Specialist-Consultants of the OSS Outpost

My dear Dulles,
Colonel cross sent to se the other day the wrist
watch regarding which we spoke and told se that this Ma
a joint present from yourself and Colonel Canfield. it
is really far too good of you to give me this but at the
same time I must frankly say that I do very much appreciate
it as a token of cur common work and-Fammon aims during the
last year. On the termination of Supreme Headquarters I
wrote to General Donovan a letter expressing my personal
appreciation and admiration for the work of 0.5.5., both in
Africa and in Europe. This 7123 a genuine tribute to a very
great organisation and to some very fire people in it. r
think I can say quite honestly that both at 4..10.H.Q. and
'.S.S. never failed to assist us and to provide
first class service. I am therefore more than ever grate-
ful for a token which will remind me of this co-operation
and joint work which I will always regard as one of the
happiest and fruitful associations I have experienced.
Again very many thanks and I send you py very best
wishes for the future and the hope that our acquaintance
may be renewed in other spheres.
Very cordially yours,

I have read a report forwarded by you to Mr. Mould
Taylor on August 16, 1943. The report, dated Augnot
1943, was prepared by Miss Carp, and vas entitled
212.11-1--sP(-21=4.S13..--:inrteth...2.2.----ILY-MPALMAJAILL?'1Candratit

The authentic note of the report and the nature Of
Miss Carp's sources lead me to inquire who Miss Carp is and
to what Soviet officials she refers. I do not knew irbetber
you will consider such questions appropriate, but Inforso..
tion of this kind would greatly assist us in 'vaunting Miss
Carp's internsting reports.
If Miss Carp has written similar reports in the pest
or should write such in the future, would it be polsible top
have copies sent to the USSR Division?

you the organization of the Office of Strategic Services for
the splondd cooperation your men in the field gave me re-
cently in rxnnection with a Job I was commissioned to do by
Elmer DAVi3 of the Office of War Information.
The best way I can describe tho quality of the work
they did in to nay that without the information they got for
me the report would have boon a very feeble Job; with their
contributions the report turned out to be of the utmost signifi-
cane?.
I thank you and General Donovan for making this pos-
sible -- and will you partioularly thank those who cooperated
in ;he field for me?

Dear Staight:
I wanted to tell you that we have had a note trolls Londom
expressing appreciation for your report N-9728 of Deo. 21,
Whieh is of value to the Foreip Office.
Your report N-9190 of March 27th, Subject &roan Roil
ways, was of considerable value. ft should much appreciate sny
further information that could be obtained on the progress of
construction of the Junten-Shinshu Line (Southern Urea).
Your report N-91.94 of March 27th, subject - Railroads and
railroad facilities around Ieijo, Korea, is also of oonsideruble
value and has enabled the War Office to ()book and amplify it*
information on the layout of railroads in the Keijo-Ryusan arises
Any further detailed information of this kind which source msy
be able to supply on other points on the &roan railway system
would be of considerable interest.

FRW.: Dorothy C. Farrier
The docaments and passes which were enclosed with your
memo of June 12 are a great addition to our stock of Japanese'
documents. 0,.ir supply ie woefully small at the moment. le
were particularly pleased with the metal badge which you sent
us, since that is the first Japanese doeument we have received
of the type. In Europe passes to places of emplGyment were verr
numerous and although we assumed the same to be true in Japanese
territory, this is our first tangible proof.
The travel permit issued to Mr. Merwin is of less interest
than the docaments of Dr. Scott because it is less recent, how.
ever, since we are building a historical file as well as an
operational one we are very glad to receive it. We fortisee for
example the necessity of proving that a man in Africa had been
in China in 19.38. Such a pass tucked way some where in his,
belongings would go far to substantiate such a contention.
Thank you again for your very kind 000peration.

Jo have just had word from our Nission in
0airo telling how delighted they are to have the in
formation on cinema and printing equipment in the
Balkan countries which your people so kindly provided.
Allow me to pass on their gratitude.
They have made one query and that is exactly
how you define the term "linotype press." They say
it is an expression not used by their people in Cairo,
and would like to know whether you are referring to a
linotype settinL: machine or a flatbed press. Is it
putting your people to too great trouble to ask thaa
to elucidate tids term?
