General Marshall to Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr.

1014. Please deliver the following message from me to Doctor Soong.

My Dear Dr. Soong: Your letter of June 29 was received and your message has already been cabled to the Chinese Embassy according to your request.

However, with regard to the second paragraph of your letter, I wish to point out that there would be no objection to your being reimbursed from the Yuan debt settlement if debts accruing from such settlement have not already been allocated or are to be allocated to offset cash reimbursable Lend Lease, Chinese purchase of surplus property or some other expenditure.
