The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 26.]
Sir: With reference to the Embassy’s telegram to the Department No. 1728 of November 1, 3 p.m. (1941),84 stating that representations had been made with respect to damage inflicted by Japanese armed forces on the property of the American Methodist Mission at various places in Fukien Province, China, I have the honor to enclose, for the record, a translation of a communication from the Japanese Foreign Office dated December 4, 1941,84 requesting sketch maps showing the exact locations of the damaged properties. War broke out between the United States and Japan before the Embassy could take action in the matter.
Respectfully yours,
