Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

French Ambassador Jusserand sends President Roosevelt a collection of hunting articles by Guillaume Vasse and a book by Henri Cordier that may be of interest to Roosevelt for his upcoming hunting trip to Africa. Jusserand spent a fine Fourth of July with American Ambassador to France Henry White, whose new home in Paris is “quite ambassadorial.” In European news, Jusserand reports that the state of Turkey seems most troubling, because unrest can spread easily from that region to others. European troops in Turkey are hampered from exerting their full influence. Jusserand includes two newspaper clippings describing King Louis XIV, but notes the rest of the article “had better not be repeated.”

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Theodore Roosevelt

French Ambassador Jusserand complains to President Roosevelt about French vinegar being held up at customs by the Department of Agriculture due to problems with their labels, even after several revisions of them, which Jusserand feels is unreasonable. The issue of products being held up in customs is not only limited to vinegar, but also extends to several other products.

Letter from J. J. Jusserand to Elihu Root

French Ambassador Jusserand complains to Secretary of State Root about American policy toward French vinegar imports from the Cessat de Bordeaux firm, which are now being held up at customs after 60 years of commerce between the firm and the United States. Jusserand believes it is not only harmful to French trade but also to American trade. The vinegar imports have been stopped due to their labels, but Jusserand believes this is unfair because the firm has followed American custom for labels. Jusserand concludes by mentioning 125 cases ordered by a man in New Orleans, Louisiana held up in customs and asks for Root’s assistance in the matter.
