President Roosevelt thanks Baron d’Estournelles de Constant, as well as all the others who contributed, for the gift of the memoirs of Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully. The signatures of all those who contributed to the gift make the book, “not merely one of the two or three in my library which I value most, but that one which I value most.” Roosevelt expresses his affection for France, and wishes everyone who contributed to the gift could visit him in the United States as well.
