Dear General Chou: I have just received the National Government’s list of the 90 divisions to be retained and the order of demobilization of units during the first two months.46 This list has been submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 1, Article 4 of the Basis of Military Reorganization and for the Integration of the Communist Forces into the National Army.

It is my earnest hope that your list soon will be submitted in order that the control group here in Chungking may proceed with its detailed planning.

Very sincerely,
