“March 24, 5 p.m. About two hundred American women and children are now being placed aboard the Sui Wo which will probably sail for Shanghai tonight. Have arranged for additional boat for remaining women and children and other Americans. Situation very tense and uncertain although no disorder so far. Will concentrate American forces at consulate if emergency demands.”
