Dear Brigadier Rassmussen,
We are anxious to send our artist, W.E. Pidgeon – (Wep), to Borneo to do a series of paintings and black and white pictures for us.
Wep went to New Guinea for us and produced a number of pictures which we published in our issue of June 10, 1944. In January of this year he went to Morotai under the auspices of the R.A.A.F. and the results of his work appeared in our special R.A.A.F. issue on April 21, 1945.
I should be glad if you would let me know as soon as possible whether we have your permission to send him. I understand he has had all the necessary inoculations.
Yours faithfully,
Kenneth Wilkinson.
Acting Editor.
