Letter from Lord Mountbatten, Supreme Allied Commander, South-East Asia, to Auchinleck, thanking him for his hospitality; declaring that he finds it hard to believe that 31 May will mark his last visit to Delhi; stating that he has done his best to let the British Government know that the successes in South-East Asia could not have occurred without the participation and co-operation of India Command, especially of Auchinleck himself; announcing that he has suggested that Auchinleck's name should be at the top of any list of honours offered to South-East Asia in the final victory list; and expressing his own deep gratitude to Auchinleck for the tremendous support he has given to him from the beginning, under circumstances which only a truly great man could surmount. Typescript, signed.
