President Roosevelt to the Chinese Minister of Finance (Kung)71a
My Dear Dr. Kung: It was good of you to think of me and I am delighted to have that delicious Chinese tea—especially because I am more and more substituting tea for coffee.
Our visit here in Cairo with the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang has been not only very delightful but it has been a true success. It is the beginning of many such conferences, I hope. They have spoken to me in regard to the inflation problem and when they get back to Chungking they will speak with you in regard to a suggestion which I have made. I have not, of course, had a chance to talk with the Secretary of the Treasury about it but I will do so just as soon as I get home.
I do hope that I shall have the pleasure of seeing you one of these days very soon. My warm regards,
Sincerely yours,
