Letter from Lt.-Gen. N.M. [Neil] Ritchie to Auchinleck, in reply to AUC/700 above, agreeing that the enemy's offensive will almost certainly take the form of a sudden, sharp attack, and that the main battle is likely to be in the Tobruk area; reporting that the enemy's action will probably take place about 15 February, that it is now impossible to carry out minor offensive operations, and that the South African Divisional Commanders still do not accept the concept of a two-brigade division. Typescript, signed, with a holograph note.
