Lettre de remerciement avant Noël dans laquelle Montgomery évoque brièvement la crise de Suez, qu'il juge lamentablement conduite.

"My dear John
I have begun to receive Christmas gift parcels from you. Tevo have arrived already. You really are most [?] to send me these each year, and I am deeply grateful. Will you tell James Keillor that they are arriving, as his name is on the parcels.
We have been having a trying time in Europe. In all my experience I have never known anything so bungled as the Suez Canal affair.
My very best wishes to you and your wife. I will be in New York in May next and will ask Bill Griffin to fix that we meet.
yours always
Montgomery of Alamein."
