To Yi Kemo[I]
(May 10, 1950)

Dear Brother Kemo,

Both of your kind letters have been received, and I deeply appreciate your warm sentiments. Have you secured a job yet? It is always best to resolve such matters close to home. There are still many gaps in educational laws and regulations, and we can only proceed as we go along, so I have nothing to send you in that regard. This is my reply.

Wishing you good health!

And please convey my regards to Mr. Wang Chengshu.
