OFFICE OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE
Washington, D. C.

December 17, 1941

Mr. Jack Markow
Corresponding Secretary
An American Group
69 Seventh Avenue
New York, New York

Dear Mr. Markow:

     Thank you for your letter of December 13 concerning Mr. Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Mr. Chuzo Tamotzu, addressed to Mr. Bruce.

     I am enclosing a copy of my letter to Mr. Kuniyoshi which I think is self-explanatory.  Both Forbes Watson and Holger Cahill are friends of his and will do everything possible to alleviate the present unfortunate situation in which he finds himself.

     We here are always glad to receive suggestions and any information that will help individuals and groups.

     Please let me know if there is anything further I can do.

Faithfully yours,
