President Roosevelt thanks Baron Kogoro Takahira for the memorandum that he enclosed in his previous letter. There is still some discrepancy in immigration figures, which Roosevelt hopes can be resolved in discussions between the two governments. Roosevelt notes a new figure, however, which shows that the number of Japanese leaving the United States exceeds the number remaining. Roosevelt thanks Takahira for his efforts.
