President Roosevelt to Major General Patrick J. Hurley 77

[Washington, November 17, 1944.]

Number 121. If agreeable, would like to appoint you as Ambassador to China. Your intimate knowledge of the situation there, both from the military and diplomatic standpoints, I feel eminently qualifies you for this important post during the present critical times.
