SHANGHAI， March 23rd.， 1912.
Dr.Sun Yat Sen，President，Republic of China，NANKING.
Dear Dr.Sun：
I beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your general Chinese letter dated March 21st.This purports to be a letter to the people of all nations， which I am filing.
If you could be good enough to send me back the letter which you kindly addressed me before and which I returned so that the National Assembly might have a look at it， I shall be exceedingly obliged.If， however， the National Assembly will not allow you to send it， then we can consider the matter at an end.
With kindest regards.
Yours sincerely，
Edward S.Little

致中华民国总统孙逸仙博士，南京。
尊敬的孙博士：
我谨致谢收到您3月21日的平信中文信函。此封正在归档的信声称是给各族人民的。
如果您能好心把以前写给我的友好来信寄还，我将不胜感激。我送回这些信是为了给国民议会参阅。但如果国民议会不同意您寄，那就算了。
致以最诚挚的问候。
李德立 谨上
