Letter from William Loeb to Henry C. Gauss

Subject(s): Bonaparte, Ellen C., 1852-1924, Etiquette, Invitation cards, White House (Washington, D.C.)

William Loeb confirms that, as Ellen C. Bonaparte, wife of Secretary of the Navy Charles J. Bonaparte, requests, he will have invitations sent to Henry C. Gauss for a number of people. He regrets that he cannot fulfill Gauss’s own wishes, as he has received too many similar requests to make scheduling exceptions for when invitations were issued for, and therefore cannot grant any.
