Smedley to Epstein, October 6, 1946, and to Elsie Cholmeley, October 30,1946. One of Stilwel's letters to Smedley, dated April 6,1946, was leaked to the Daily Worker and published on January 26, 1947. It was miscaptioned »Stilwell Itched to Fight in Chu Teh's Army; the letter itself says it was Zhu De who had agreed to fight under Stilwell. The whereabouts of most of the letters remains a mystery; for a few see Alley, Six Americans in China; see also Tuch-man, Stilwell, pp. 673-74
