Editorial Note
No official record of the substance of this meeting has been found. At the meeting of the Combined Chiefs of Staff later the same afternoon Marshall reported on a discussion that he had had with Chiang regarding proposed operations in the Southeast Asia Command; see post, p. 338. Presumably the discussion to which Marshall referred had taken place at his luncheon meeting with Chiang. The luncheon meeting is also mentioned in The Stilwell Papers, p. 246, from which it appears that Stilwell and Madame Chiang were present. There is no indication of where the luncheon took place.
