Dear Mr.President：
I am sending you copies of two days dispatches extended， so as to be more easily read.
For my part I most sincerely trust the attitude of self dependence and assertiveness adopted by the Republic will be continued.There is a rather pretty but deep game being played in Peking， but I trust I see evidence that you are “on to the more” and have your “cheek” in sight & in time.Find it too bad about Lea.I would have been in Nanking， but the cable are so badly disorganized and the telegraph from Nanking so slow that I must stay here to manage my correspondence tool not for cable.
Most faithfully，
Russell Kennedy

尊敬的总统先生：
我把这两天的后续电讯报道寄给你，以便更容易阅读。
就我而言，我非常真挚地相信，共和国自力更生与坚定自信的态度会持续下去。有一出好戏正在北京上演。然而我只相信我的亲眼所见，你们“势头正好”，但荷马·李的情况太糟糕了。我本来想去南京的，但电报系统太乱，从南京来的电报太慢了，我必须留在这里料理我的通讯工具而不使用电报。
拉塞尔·肯尼迪 谨上
