Monday， Feb.5.
Dear Mr.President：
I enclose copies of the telegram of this morning.I did not wire it because of the length， but which you may be interested.Of course it is dated from Nanking， because I date all my wires from there.It dignifies Nanking.
I am leaving here tomorrow morning for Nanking in company of Dr.Tenney of the American legation and Mr.Frederick McCormick an old member of our force & a well-known author & magazine writer.If you will give me ten minutes in Tuesday afternoon between 3：30 & 4：30， you would do me great honor & help me.You might perhaps consent to receive Mr.McCormick at the same time.
Believe me，Most faithfully，
Russell Kennedy
H.E. President Sun Yat Sen，Nanking.

尊敬的总统先生：
我随信寄去几份我今天早晨拟发出的电报。我没有拍发是因为太长。但我想或许您会感兴趣。当然，它标的发电地址是南京。这给南京添了彩。
我明天一早将同美国公使馆的丁家立博士及一个老资格军人、著名作家兼专栏作者麦考密克先生同来南京。如能在星期二下午三点半到四点半之间蒙赐10分钟会面，我将感到非常荣幸，对我是极大的帮助。或许您也能同意同时接待麦考密克。
拉塞尔·肯尼迪 谨上
致尊敬的孙逸仙总统，南京。
