(sic) comrade to attend.<br />
As (sic) regard<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> methods of work which [were] noticed <strong>in</strong> your letter, we thoroughly agree<br />
to. But we do not even <strong>in</strong> practice perform those wrong th<strong>in</strong>gs which you f<strong>in</strong>d out <strong>in</strong> our work. <strong>The</strong><br />

write and expla<strong>in</strong> (sic) such ide<strong>as</strong> on our papers. But it is only with purpose of propaganda. <strong>The</strong><br />
slogans for terrorism were never used by party, even talked never. <strong>The</strong>re were someth<strong>in</strong>g like that<br />
character done by <strong>the</strong> m<strong>as</strong>s, but it is only non-organised m<strong>as</strong>s motion. Maybe you were<br />
mis<strong>in</strong>formed by comrades Soong or (?) [? is orig<strong>in</strong>al mark] about <strong>the</strong> <strong>as</strong>sault once played on a<br />
manager by <strong>the</strong> workers of Tan Kah Kee.<br />
