In a letter to Mrs. Ena Binfield, mother of a solider serving under the Supreme Commander, Eisenhower writes, in full: “I am in receipt of your letter of February 20 and fully understand your desire to see your son. We have now succeeded in establishing a limited furlough policy, enabling American soldiers to spend their leave in the U. K. I feel sure if your son should apply to his commanding officer, he will be given every consideration. I am most appreciative of your good wishes to me and all Allied forces serving under my command.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, scattered wrinkling and creasing, a faint black of overall toning, small areas of separation at each end of the horizontal fold, and tape to the top edge of the reverse.
