Comrade Kang Sheng:
Letter received. Let us proceed accordingly. What interests me, first and foremost, are the articles, pamphlets, and certain monographs on logic from China in recent years and recent decades (regardless of their content). I earnestly hope they can be compiled and printed at an early date! The introduction by Comrade Jiang Chunfang[2] is most helpful, and the compilation of the bibliography[3] also shows diligent effort. Please convey my thanks to him on my behalf when convenient.
