Memorandum by General Chou En-lai to General Marshall

MM 201

[Nanking,] October 12, 1946.

Dear General Marshall: We have not received any report as to which troops conducted the incident at Hsin-Ho. Upon reading your memorandum OSE 505⁷⁰ addressed to General Chou En-lai, I immediately dispatched a message to Yenan authorities, asking them to probe and clarify if the Communist forces near by the town did make the acts, as you asserted in the memorandum. I will let you know of the result, as soon as any reply is received.

For General Chou En-lai:

Tung Pi-Wu
