Montgomery writes largely concerning his travel and accommodation arrangements for Switzerland, in part, 'I note that you want to have the Ski-Jumping on Sunday, January 30^th, and that would be suitable for me. I will now come to Gstaad on Saturday, January 29^th and I will stay there till Wednesday, 16^th February, 1955' (15^th July 1954), 'I have received the photograph you sent me, taken when I presented the Ski Cup to the winner last February. I have signed the photograph and have posted it back to you. I hope it will arrive safely' (also 15^th July 1954), 'I note that the competition for my cup will now be held on Sunday, 6^th February and that date will suit me very well. My son and his wife will be arriving in Gstaad on that morning to stay with me and it will be a great thing for them to be able to see the ski-jumping competition. Neither of them have ever seen any ski-jumping before. I would of course be delighted that you should ask General Guisan to attend the competition for my cup…..I know him well and will be very glad to see him again. Please tell him from me that I hope he will be able to come' (12^th December 1954), 'I send you this copy of a letter (still present) I have sent to Mr. Reuteler, giving my dates for next January - February. I presume the 10^th Feb. is O.K. for the Jumping; that is the date we agreed' (15^th October 1956). Together with the letter referred to, a carbon copied T.L.S., Montgomery of Alamein, with holograph salutation and subscription, one page, 4to, Versailles, Seine et Oise, 15^th October 1956, to Mr. Reuteler, marked Copy by Montgomery in red indelible pencil at the head, providing his correspondent with the dates of his visit to Gstaad from January - February 1957 and adding, 'I will have with me the same A.D.C. as last year - Captain A. W. Cheyne. I would, myself, much like to have the same rooms as last year - if this is convenient to you. I will arrange for the same telephones. Captain Cheyne can of course have any small single room you have available'. Each of the letters are accompanied by their original envelopes, hand addressed by Montgomery.
