Miss Lee Ya-Ching
United China Relief
New York, New York

Dear Miss Lee:

Regardless of the fact that I failed to receive a reply to my last communication to you, I am constrained again to attempt correspondence with you.

First of all, Mr. Kinnamon and I have never received the autographed copies of your picture which you promised.

In the last issue of Time magazine on page 67 there appear certain statements attributed to you and I am inclined to question some of them.  I certainly do not feel after the luncheon and dinner engagements in which we participated that you wish all food to come in capsules nor that you believe all mean are just to be looked at.  If such is the case, then I am certainly a disillusioned man and I might further state greatly disappointed in you.

Finally, I am glad to know that you are still on the go for China and the work of the United China Relief Organization and I rejoice in the fact that the Time magazine has seen fit to give you recognition which I am sure you greatly deserve.

Remember you are always welcome in Wilmington and I hope that we shall have the pleasure of seeing you in this vicinity soon again.  If you happen to see Mrs. Brinkerhoff, I would ask that you give her my very best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Robert G. Hackett
