President Roosevelt expresses his frustration about the matter pertaining to John Lewis Griffiths joining the consular service. Although another Indiana man, John K. Gowdy, is leaving Paris, that does not mean that Griffiths gets to take his place when there are other men in the consular service waiting for promotions. Roosevelt informs William Dudley Foulke he will find a suitable position for Griffiths and promote him to Consul General later, if possible.
