There is also one letter from Haruki Watsuji, the mayor of Kyoto while Stout was serving as a Monuments Man in Japan after the war.  The letter mentions Stout and fellow Monuments Man Langdon Warner visiting Kyoto.  There is also a Christmas card signed by members of the U.S. Twelfth Army Group.  A few records are in French.
