Dear Mr. Clayton: I am in receipt of your two letters of May 22, one concerning registration of American firms in China,⁶⁴ and the second concerning draft treaty of friendship and commerce between China and the United States.⁶⁵ I also have the enclosed copy of draft treaty and copy of memorandum to the Embassy at Chungking for use in negotiating treaty.

These are having my careful attention and I shall look forward to discussing them with you and your staff when I return to Washington on my way home.

Yours sincerely,
