VICE-CONSULATE OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA 714 RICHMOND ROAD HOUSTON, TEXAS March 6, 1940. Miss Lee Ya-Ching, 353 W. 57th St., New York, N.Y. Dear Miss Lee: Thank you for your letter of March 2nd. We hope that it would be possible for you to stop over in Houston for a day. Mr. T.L. Evans, manager of the Foreign Trade Department of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, whom you had met on your previous visit here, is now leading a flying tour of South America with a group of Texans, (including 4 ladies) and is expected to be back here by March 19th. If your visit to Houston should happen to be on or after the 19th, I may arrange for Mr. Evans and two of the ladies on the tour, to meet you and to talk over the conditions down there. If the sponsor of your South-American flight, The American Bureau for Medical Aid to China, has some printer circular in English or Spanish regarding the schedule of your flight, etc., (Are you going to fly only to Chile, or are you going to fly on to the Argentine and Brazil?) I hope that you will be so kind as to send a copy to me, in order to arrange a press conference and also to choose some guests for a reception. (May include also a correspondent for some influential and large South-American newspapers) Mrs. Ouang joins with me in wishing you happy landing! Yours very truly, [[signature]] Tsin-Lon Ouang, Vice-Consul.
