(October 11, 1936)

To Comrades Zhu [De], Zhang [Guotao], Xu [Xiangqian], Chen [Changhao],
Ren [Bishi], He [Long], Guan [Xiangying], Liu [Bocheng], and Peng [Dehuai]:

When the telegram of the draft regarding collaboration between the Guomindang
and the Communist Party to resist Japan and save the nation arrives, please put
forward your suggestions. This is our side's draft, which it is planned that [Zhou]
Enlai will take to the negotiations. It is still not fully known what restrictions the
other side will ultimately accept.

Luo Fu [Mao] Zedong

We have translated this telegram from Mao Zedong junshi wenji, Vol. 1, pp. 625-26,
