The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Gauss)
Washington, December
16, 1941—4 p.m.
303. For the Ambassador from the President. In view of the disruption of mail service, I am acknowledging by telegraph the receipt of your letter of November 19 in which you presented an estimate of the situation in China. I found your letter of interest and of value, and I want you to know that during these critical days when the United States and China are fighting side by side against common enemies you and the gallant Government to which you are accredited are very much in my thoughts.
