Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr., to General Chou En-lai at Yenan36

[Chungking,] 21 March 1946.

346. Additional word from General Marshall which I have just received indicates that it is extremely important for you to return, as soon as possible, to Chungking to continue discussions regarding entry of field teams into Manchuria. I will send my C–54 to pick you up on Saturday if C–47 that took you up to Yenan has returned. Please advise.

  1. Transmitted through Col. Ivan D. Yeaton, Commanding Officer of the U. S. Army Observer Group at Yenan.↩
