The Leader of the Tibetan Trade Mission (Shakabpa) to the Secretary of State
Your Excellency: I take this privilege to inform Your Excellency that owing to the help and co-operation so kindly extended to us during our stay in the United States by the State Department, we have been able to contact with a number of wool importers and the producers and suppliers of American goods in the United States. While we visited some of the factories here, we found many American products suitable for Tibet. I shall no doubt report all these findings to the Government of Tibet.
And if we are successful in our talks with the Government of India, and we hope we will be, for husbanding ourselves the U. S. Dollar we earn from the export of Tibetan products to the United States, we hope mutual trade between Tibet and the United States can be carried on to a considerable volume.
We are leaving New York for Paris, France on November 6th by the ship Queen Elizabeth. And we take this opportunity of saying good-bye to the State Department.
I have [etc.]
Leader
