Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

French Ambassador Jusserand thanks President Roosevelt for the letter and book, which he says he has been reading in the midst of seeing work done to the house. He has spent the majority of his days on the top of ladders, not like some ambassadors who must only emphasize their greatness. Jusserand goes into detail about some of the stories, saying that they remind him of Secretary of State Elihu Root’s lecture at Yale where he noted that the main thing is progress.

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Jusserand sends Theodore Roosevelt Christmas wishes and hopes for his continued safety. He informs Roosevelt of his election to the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences on his own merits, with no opposing votes. Jusserand shares an incident of a mother cat saving her kitten from a caged tiger. Roosevelt’s letter was delightful and complemented his articles in Scribner’s Magazine, which everyone follows with interest. He does not have much to comment on regarding internal politics other than that he deplores the quarrel between Gifford Pinchot and Secretary of the Interior Richard Achilles Ballinger. Jusserand updates Roosevelt on several of their friends. Ambassador to France Robert Bacon was recently injured in a fall from his horse before leaving for his assignment. A letter “full of pleasant chattering” from Justice Alford Cooley hints at a possible improvement in health. Secretary of the Navy George von Lengerke Meyer and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Beekman Winthrop are trying to capture Jose Santos Zelaya in Nicaragua. While Henry Cabot Lodge and Anna Cabot Mills Davis Lodge are in good physical health, they still mourn for their son George “Bay” Cabot Lodge, especially on Christmas. Jusserand includes a newspaper clipping on Roosevelt’s election to the Academy and part of a political cartoon featuring Roosevelt.

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Jusserand is glad to hear news about Theodore Roosevelt, and notes that he appears to be having a good time on safari. He jokes that Roosevelt should not spend too long there, because he will exhaust his hunting permits and the Smithsonian will run out of room for his specimens. He includes a cartoon from Clifford Kennedy Berryman depicting ladies wearing his trophies as a suggestion of what can be done with them.
