President Roosevelt informs Ambassador Jusserand of a change to an upcoming social event. Due to the large number of French officers, Roosevelt worries that “it will be difficult to get the right number of ladies to meet them at dinner.” He is therefore is planning to hold a dinner only for the men, and then have a general reception afterwards where the women will join them. This will also allow him to invite a number of Congressmen to meet the French officers.
