YASUO KUNIYOSHI Woodstock New York My dear Mr. Kuniyoshi: Just a line to acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 19, 1942, and to express my regrets that this misunderstanding should have arisen. I can assure you that there was no intent whatsoever to cast any reflection at all upon your loyalty to those ideals for which we are now fighting; but it was felt that the publicity which would be forthcoming might be interpreted by persons who do not know you and do not know your sentiments, in a direction unfavorable to yourself and unfavorable to United China Relief, if you were to be a judge. We would, however, be glad to have you be a sponsor of this occasion. Would you not consider being one of the sponsors? If you would, we would greatly appreciate it if you would let us now as soon as possible, as the patrons' list must be in the hands of the printers no later than Monday, October 5th. Very truly yours, W. R. HEROD Vice Chairman.
