Dear Sumner:
 
 
 I enclose two copies of a confidential report 
which has Just been given meat the Foreign Office with 
the explanation that it is the body of a despatch from
one of their most reliable reporters in Germany. It was 
stated that they have every reason to believe that the 
account of mtstreatment of Jews in concentration camps 
in this report is accurate. They felt that it would be
of interest to appropriate officials in the Department,
and the hope was expressed that a copy might be made
available to the President.
 
 
Yours sincerely,
 
 
(signed) Herschel Johnson
 
 
Enclosure:
 
 Two copies of report.
 
 
The Honorable Sumner Welles,
 
 Under Secretary of State,
 
  Department of State,
 
   WASHINGTON.
