Maurice Francis Egan, Minister to Denmark, sends a copy of the Danish magazine Varden, which mentions President Roosevelt. Egan also sends a copy of a sonnet that he wrote which was published in Collier’s Weekly, and which a Danish magazine offered a prize for a translation. He believes that the recent financial and ministerial changes in Denmark, along with the fallout from a scandal involving Danish politician Peter Adler Alberti, have made the people more serious. Egan tells Roosevelt that he is pleased with the result of the election, which he followed largely through reports in French and English newspapers.
