Mister E: I think it highly unlikely than anyone but the person it was addressed to might have kept it much less the CINC West. At that stage of the game the Germans knew it was all but over in the Bulge offensively, and sending such a ridiculous demand was in effect the last throw of the dice for them. The 101st was not going anywhere. George was coming, and they were starving, and running out of literally everything that makes an offensive possible. The poor bastard probably looked at it, found out what it meant, said Oh shit, then tore it up.

These type things are always fun, and sometimes you learn something new and at other times you are just as frustrated as when you set out on your journey.

Well it's been a week now and I have had "zilch, nada, nowt, Jack sh*t on the question about that note. I posted it in two different sites, sites who are full of reputable people and not a dickie bird.

Ian, I think Zilch is about all you can expect. While I second your remark about the different sites (I too am familiar with them) being full of knowledgeable folks, there are some questions that do not have answers, and the whereabouts of the note in question is one of them.
