Subject: Bomb Damage in English Cities.
 
      
 
 
The Honorable
 
      The Secretary of State,
 
      Washington.
 
      
 
 
Sir: 
 
      I have the honor to refer to the Embassy's despatch No. 6516 
      of January 3, 1941, and to enclose a copy of a report received 
      from the Consul at Birmingham regarding conditions in that city 
      after recent bombing attacks. In my opinion this report merits 
      particular attention.
 
      
 
 
Respectfully yours,
 
      Herschel V. Johnson
 
      Charge d'affaires and interim
 
      
 
 
Enclosure:
 
      1. Copy letter dated December 27, 1940 from American Consul at 
      Birmingham.
