Letter to Zhou Shizhao[1]

(January 12, 1965)

Brother Dunyuan:

I am sending you three thousand yuan. Please handle it as you see fit. The two of them may either not need to be given too much, or they may need to be given this amount. If they do not need to be given too much, the remainder shall be kept with you. Should anyone need it, you may give it as you see fit.

With respectful salutations,

Mao Zedong
