“December 8, 1923. Number 36. Your number 183.39 May we soon expect formal request through you from the Japanese authorities for funds for the construction of a hospital and its endowment in the total amount indicated by you for $3,000,000 with the understanding that one-half of that amount will be used in the construction of a hospital and one-half in an endowment for that project? We authorize you to inform the Japanese Emergency Relief Bureau that the American Red Cross will honor such a request and also one for the requisition for supplies as previously indicated. If the hospital plan is adopted should it be carried out by cash grant or otherwise? Fieser, American Red Cross.”
