Dear Kevin,

1. Please find enclosed copies of the two papers you requested.  I anticipate the ADE report will only confirm your lack of confidence in the objectivity and ability of M.H. Chivers.  Please note that O'Dwyer's refutation of specific points in the ADE report was sent to SASS.  It is doubtful that this paper was ever passed beyond SASS, and we only received an unofficial copy of it, almost by mistake from xxxx xxxxxxxx.
2. Your “muffler” appears interesting.  Now that you have a model of it, are you presenting this idea to the Army Suggestion Scheme?  We would very much like to try it out here because of its application for sniping.
3. In November I am going to X RAR, but our R and D organisation here will continue working on rifle shooting improvements and ancilliary equipment requirements.  The man to contact then will be Capt xxxxxxxx who you probably know from RMC.  Thank you for the assistance you have given me to date.

Yours faithfully,
