(Extract from Tsun Wan Yat Po, Hongkong 29th Sept. 1926).
Letter from Tseung Kai Shek to thu Wai Sang.
Some time ago, Chu Wai Sang, President of the Che-kiang Public Association, sent a wire to Generalisamo Tseung with a view to peace-negotiation, and a telegram in reply was duly received from the latter. Yesterday Taeung again wrote a letter personally and sent it to him through Cheung Ngok Kran, declaring his intention not to occupy Kiangai. The letter reads as follows:-
To
Mr. Chu ai Sang,
I trust you have read my telegram of yesterday. Now I must ask that first of all Sun muat withdraw hia re-inforcements in Kiangsi. If he really has a sincere desire for peace, I can have the whole Kiangsi returned to his control, even if it were taken by my troops. My troops only want him not to invade Kwong Tung, Hu-nan and Hu-peh. As to the negotiations that have already been made, Ho Shut Chuk and Cheung Ngok Kwan know all the particulars, and you can ask them. I will keep my promise towards Sun, and can have Kiangsi returned to him, even if it were taken. I have no desire to prolong this calamitous war, or to invade Kiangsu, Che-kiang, An-hui and Fukien. (A part omitted) I still regard the present position as one of local conflict, which cannot be considered as a real state of war. Anyhow if the re-inforcements in Kiangai are withdram, I can surely have Kiangai returned to him. But it rests with him to give definite expression of his views.
Taeung Kai Shak".
