Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to President Roosevelt ⁸⁶

[Chungking,] 2 November 1943.

I am in receipt of your telegrams transmitted to me by General Hearn on October 28th⁸⁸ and 29th^88a and November 1st.^88b I am delighted to accept the suggestions contained in your last telegram and am looking forward to meeting you and Mr. Churchill. Everything will be kept strictly secret here. The signing of the Four Nation Declaration is a splendid success which is entirely due to your firm stand for justice and solidarity. This declaration constitutes one of the greatest contributions to the peace and security of the Post War World. Please accept my warm and sincere thanks for your deep concern for our common cause and kindly convey to Mr. Hull my appreciation of the excellent results he has achieved at the conference. Best regards.
