Mr. Walter S. Robertson to General Marshall
Peiping, 6 April 1946.
1576. It is my carefully considered opinion that the situation is so serious and is deteriorating so rapidly that your immediate return [Page 736] to China is necessary to prevent your mission being dangerously jeopardized.
I assume General Gillem has kept you fully advised as to developments. As it would take a long, rather detailed message, no doubt duplicating information already given you, to present the picture, I will not burden you with it unless requested.
