The Vice Consul at Foochow (Burke) to the Secretary of State

Foochow, December 24, 1931—4 p.m.
[Received December 24—9:05 a.m.]

Methodist Mission reports that Miss Harriet J. Halverstadt, an American missionary, was captured about 20 miles south of Foochow by men dressed in marine uniform today at 1 p.m. I am urging the Provincial Government to take prompt action to effect her release.
