12 December 1946
My dear Mr. President:
On a number of occasions during the past year you
have sent me by personal note, radio, or by message
carried by some official visitor to China expressions of
your approval, confidence and unqualified support. I
have been deeply appreciative of your thoughtfulness and
generous expressions, and, in sending you my Christmas
greetings, I make my grateful acknowledgment. The fact
that you have given me such unwavering support throughout
this difficult and unsatisfactory business has been a
great help to me. I doubt if any representative of our
country overseas has ever been given more generous backing
than you have given me.
The disturbed and difficult state of the times has
made your task an appalling one and I have felt a deep and,
I believe, understanding sympathy for you in your struggle
with the unusual burdens of the day.
Please accept for yourself and your family my very
best wishes for you in the Christmas season and the New
Year. Mrs. Marshall would join with me in this message,
but she left a few days ago enroute to Honolulu. The
doctor thought it best for her to avoid the cold of the
Nanking winter.
With great respect and warm regards,
Faithfully yours,
RECORDS
