Letter to Wang Mei[1]

(March 10, 1945)

Your letter and the substitute cultivation grain payment have been received. I appreciate your kindness and assistance. I am not short of material supplies, and I have decided to transfer the 3,500 yuan you gave me back to you, as a gift to express my thanks to you. I hope you will accept it.
