Telegram to Lin Yuying and Others[1]

(October 5, 1936)

The Fourth Front Red Army has repeatedly telegraphed requesting that you go there once. We deem this necessary. Please immediately conclude your current work and arrive at Tongxin City before October 20 to meet with Zhu and Zhang, and convey the spirit of the Seventh Congress of the Communist International. The new political resolution of the Party Central Committee will be sent to Tongxin City within the next few days.
