Letter to Dai Yuben[1]

(March 11, 1951)

Comrade Yuben:

The letter you sent before your departure and the one from Xingcheng have both been received. I congratulate you on attaining the work post you desired. I have met with Brother Ximei[2] and we talked much about our hometown. He will soon be able to enter school.

Wishing you good health and progress!

Mao Zedong
