"Dear General Eichelberger: It is a real pleasure to congratulate you and the 8th Army upon the successful way you are carrying out the occupational tasks assigned you by the Supreme Commander. Not only did I find among your troops a fine spirit and efficiency but I was particularly pleased to note the extraordinary degree of concern exhibited by all officers of whatever rank in the welfare of their men. My personal thanks and appreciation are due to you for the cordiality
extended to me and my party and I hope that you will pass on an expression of my sentiments to all individuals and organizations that had a part in making my stay with the 8th Army such a pleasant and profitable one. My very best wishes to all of you. Eisenhower."
EIsenhower to General Eichelberger (see Folder 5, Box 24 - Reel 63)
