To Com[rade] Mao Zedong

In connection with the possible development of events in the areas of your presence and, in particular, with the commenced offensive of [prominent GMD General] Fu Zuoyi's forces on Yuxian, i.e. in the direction of those areas through which you plan to go to us, we are concerned whether your absence might influence the course of events, and also to what extent your passage is safe.

On this basis, should you not postpone your trip to visit us somewhat [?]

In case you decide not to postpone your departure, [we] ask to let us know what help we could offer you in your passage. Do you not consider it expedient that we send our plane to you [?] In this case [we] ask [you] to let us know where to send the plane and when.

Waiting for your reply.
