The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Johnson)

254. The appointed Chinese Ambassador is to present his letters of credence to the President on August 21.

Due to the fact that the President expects to leave Washington in the near future and the date of his return is uncertain, it has seemed impracticable to endeavor to arrange that the Chinese Ambassador present his letters of credence on approximately the date set for you to present your letters of credence.
