Letter from Harry Dexter White to Ernest Hemingway ; Jan. 27, 1941.
Harry Dexter White and Henry Morgenthau agreed that Hemingway would spy for the U.S. Treasury during his trip in China. They asked Hemingway to gather information on the relationship between the Communists and Guomindang, and on the transportation situation in China and along the Burma Road.
Hemingway gave William Langhorne Bond a short letter in Hong Kong for White and Morgenthau, saying that he had little time to study the transportation situation in China and was unsure when he would be returning the United States.
