All
concerned regret very much that due to failure in adjusting Japanese-American
relations, matters have come to what they are now, despite all the efforts you
two Ambassadors have been making. I wish to take this opportunity to offer my
deepest thanks to you both for your endeavors and hard work as well as for what
all the members of the Embassy have done.
