The Chinese Minister of Finance (Kung) to the Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary: I am glad of the opportunity which the return of our mutual friend, Mr. Manuel Fox,11 to Washington enables me to send you a brief personal message.

I desire to express to you my deep and sincere appreciation for all that you have done to foster and strengthen amicable relations between the United States and China. Indeed, at no time in our history has the traditional friendship which has existed between our two countries rested on more solid and enduring foundations. That this is the result of your wise counsel and sympathetic understanding of our problems I am fully convinced.

With kindest personal regards [etc.]

H. H. Kung
  1. American member of the Chinese Stabilization Board.
