Letter from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to Elihu Root

Ambassador Griscom describes to Secretary of State Root the riots in Tokyo, which broke out upon news of the peace treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War. Although several foreigners and American churches have been attacked, the violence does not seem to be specifically directed at foreigners or Christians. However, Griscom encloses a letter stating that two churches are in imminent danger of being attacked and burned, in which he requests protection from Japanese forces.
