Peteron to THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Chungking, China October 19, 1945 Mr. Matthew Connelly Secretary to the President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Matt: With this note is enclosed a brief letter to the President and a memorandum for him on my talks with General MacArthur and officers of his staff. I felt that I ought to send this memorandum without delay since it might be helpful to the Prosident in evaluating the overall situation in Japan. If you agree, I should greatly appreciate your giving the enclosures to him personally as soon as possible. As you will see, these docu- ments are of a very confidential nature. I think we have got off to a good start on this assignment. The work in China promises to be highly interesting. With warm regards, Sincerely, Earrch.,I Edwin A. Locke, Jr. 2 Inclosures
