The Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs (Hornbeck) to Mr. Thomas W. Lamont of New York
Washington, August 5, 1937.
Dear Mr. Lamont: I have your letter of July 23 from London in regard to the China Consortium situation.
As you intimate, we are at present greatly preoccupied with other matters and we may not be able for some time to turn our thoughts effectively to the suggestion which you now make. In any event, upon your return to this country I should appreciate having an early opportunity to discuss the matter with you.
With cordial regards [etc.]
Stanley K.
Hornbeck
