The Japanese Ambassador (Nomura) to the Secretary of State
Washington, August 29, 1941.
Dear Mr. Secretary: I have just received word from Tokyo to avoid publicity as much as possible concerning our conversations.
I am told that my Government, for various considerations, feels that secrecy at this time is essential for the success of the conversations. I desire, therefore, to request your cooperation in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
K. Nomura
