THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON fl October 1, 1946 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Thanks for your note of September twenty- seventh, enclosing me a quotation on China, which I am glad to have. It is a most difficult matter to find out really what the truth is in regard to this situation. The greatest blow to China was the looting of the industrial plants of Manchuria and I have very serious doubts about an industrial recovery in that part of the world in less than a generation. Of course, if they don't get their civil strife settled there never will be a recovery. I still have faith in General Marshall. Sincerely yours, Harphonese Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt Val-Kill Cottages Hyde Park Dutchess County, New York
