Dear Dr Kissinger,

For the business of men to acknowledge
my note was unexpected. It emboldens me to say two
things: first, that there is something useful I might
tell you about if or when opportunity offers; and second,
that some gremlin seems to have stolen my mimeographed
copy of your speedh at the opening of the Geneva
conference. It may, indeed, be among papers left in the
house on LagoMaggiore where we have been living---it
was so cold and foggy that it drove us to Rome---but I cannot
find it here after days of search.

Could I ask you for a correct copy, one which you
would be willing to see in print in, for example, a book?

This Rome address would be all right until
March I think, or perhaps even April. I need
I not only hear with profound attention but have since re-
read more than once. Towards the end I was moved to the
brink of tears---as I could see you were too. So much for
Aeschylus!

With deep respect---and a modicum of awe.

Dear Ambassador Shen:

I wish to thank you and your Ministry for the
thoughtful presentation of the three volume set
honoring the memory of your late President,
Chiang Kai-shek. These impressive volumes con-
stitute a fitting tribute to a major historical
figure of our time. They provide further
evidence of your people's esteem and respect for
their late leader.

His Excellency
James C.H. Shen
