Chungking where he will arrive about January 20th and where he
hopes to see you. After Chungking his intention is to leave
for Shanghai and Tokyo en route to the United States of America.
He plans to go to Japan in March.
I shall be glad if Your Excellency and Sir R. Craigie will give him such facilities and help as you possibly can.
Please repeat to Tokyo by post.
