The Secretary of State to the Chargé in China (Atcheson)

520. Following message from Ambassador Hurley for Atcheson: Please inform Soong that my departure from Washington has been delayed but that I will be happy to meet him en route (ReEmbs 523, March 28, 9 a.m.) and suggest Cairo on or shortly after April 9. Advise me at once if there is any change in Soong’s plans.

For your information only, I expect to stop over in London for several days and to proceed from Cairo to Moscow for a short visit before returning to Chungking. [Hurley.]
