To Liu Shaoqi[1]

(March 20, 1948)

This time, the Working Committee and the responsible comrades from North China, East China, and Central China have together conducted a thorough review of the errors and shortcomings in various aspects of leadership work, and have thereby achieved rectification and set things on the right track. This is most gratifying.

We will set out eastward tomorrow. From here to Xing County, it will take ten days of walking and talks; traveling by car to Dai County will take five days; and walking to your location will take ten days. We should be able to arrive at your location around Mao Xiao.
