Messrs. Shen Junru and Zhang Bojun, your telegram of yin-yu has been received. We are most gratified that your League’s Central Committee has established a provisional headquarters in Beiping and elected you both as its leaders, and that you wish to maintain close cooperation with our Party. We hereby entrust Comrades Li Weihan and Qi Yanming to proceed to Beiping first to make contact. For any matters, please consult with them. Mao Zedong, March 10.
