The Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador (Nomura)
Washington, September 2, 1941.
Dear Mr. Ambassador: Thank you for your letter of August 29 in which you say that your Government “for various considerations feels that secrecy at this time is essential for the success of the conversations”; and that you therefore request my cooperation in this regard.
I shall be glad to conform to the desires of yourself and your Government in the foregoing respect, to every practical extent.
Sincerely yours,
[
Cordell Hull
