But I do want you to knów that I am very much concerned over the unfavourable reaction of the Chinese people... It grieves me to feel that I have even seemed to re- flect upon the dignity or pride of any nation, and I hereby extend, through you, my sincere regrets to the Great Republic which you so ably represent. Believe me, when I say, that I am a great admirer of your people, civilization and culture and that I would not in- tentionally do anything to break the bonds of friendship which bind me to closely to my many Chinese friends.
