General Marshall to President Truman

[244.] Dear Mr. President: The Generalissimo returned from a 10-day trip this afternoon, Sunday, stopping at his country place. He asks me to motor down to talk to him and dine with him tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I am informed that he has approved our agreement for demobilization, reorganization, and integration of the Chinese armies. The meeting to sign the agreement by my committee is set for 4:00 PM tomorrow. A complete press release will probably follow shortly, I suppose.

Executive Headquarters in Peiping is charged with the execution of the agreement. I will radio full details later.

Faithfully yours,

G. C. Marshall
