The Japanese Ambassador (Saito) to the Secretary of State
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of your note of July 15, 193734 concerning the assistance which is being given by my Government in the search for Miss Earhart.
The Japanese Government and people will, I assure you, appreciate highly the kind sentiments of the President and yourself which you are good enough to convey in your note and which I have had the pleasure of transmitting to Tokyo.
I should like to take the opportunity of expressing the deep concern of the whole Japanese nation that no trace of Miss Earhart has yet been found.
Accept [etc.]
