全文內容

To General Homer LeaAug. 10, 1911My dear General:Your letters from Washington and Weisbaden are in receipt. I wasexceedingly glad to hear that you had made such a great success withthe Government and the Senate, and more so to hear that your eyesare getting better rapidly. This last bit of news is most important forit relieves my anxiety very much.As soon as I received your Washington letter I had at once sentword to my men in China to work accordingly. But before my letterreaches them I have received several cablegrams and letters from themstates that more than ten divisions of the new army outside of Pekingare sure, and all the Chinese divisions in the Capital are very pro-mising. Recently one of our men General Wu Lu Chin, is gave com-mand of the sixth devision in Peking. And many officers from theProvince of Chili hitherto served in the various divisions in other pro-vinces are now returned home to take service in the Peking Armyin order to work for the purpose of cooperation with the other di-visions when the movement took place. Thus you see they are work-ing hard for the same object before they knew our plan. I expect greatresult could be obtained in that direction very soon.There are none who would divide power with me at present,all leaders of different provinces are only too welcome for me totake up general command, in fact they only fear is that I wouldnot accept that position. Lately I received many letters urging meto return to the East soon and start the movement quick. The onlything left to be done now is the way of getting the necessary fundfor the starting.In regard to the effect of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese al-liance to our affair, I don't think it makes any different at all. Itshows that Japan is not yet ready to take independent action toshape the affairs of the Far East to suit her own purposes. At presenther own people is overburdened with increased taxation and theJapanese Government needs perhaps ten years more of time toconsolidate and develop Korea and Manchuria, and needs also themoney and peace at this juncture. So there is time for us to re-generate China before the new conqueror is ready. And I hope youwould be quick to see your English friends and get the means forus to work on.I am going to leave San Francisco soon and travel eastward againexpect to reach New York on end of October.With best regards to you both. Y. S. Sun
