Comrade Rongzhen:

I have received the [manuscript of the] book you wrote,¹ the album of photographs
you sent me, and your letter. These are all very precious things. We plan to publish
the book in both Yan'an and Chongqing (Director Wang [Jiaxiang] and I will each
write a preface to it). The photographs are being passed around for all the comrades to see. I hope that you continue to struggle hard, deepen your studies, and
write more new works.
