President Roosevelt to Generalissimo Chiang1

secret

Personal and secret to the Generalissimo from the President I have concluded a series of very satisfactory talks with Mme Chiang Kai-Shek2 which she will tell you about.

I have told her of my anxiety to meet you sometime this fall. I think it is very important that we get together. If you agree with this I suggest some place midway between our two capitals. I would appreciate very much hearing from you relative to this proposal.
