Madame Chiang Kai-shek Typed Letter Signed. One page of a bifolium, 6.5" x 8", on blind embossed Chinese Embassy letterhead. Leesburg, Virginia; December 14, 1948.

I am having a delightful visit with Mrs. Marshall in her Leesburg home. Mayling Soong Chiang."Colonel John Caughey served under General John Marshall during the latter's mission in China at the end of World War II to attempt to unify the Communist Party of China with the Nationalists.
