President Roosevelt tells Archbishop John J. Keane that, as far as he knows, there are no current plans of removing Spencer F. Eddy from the diplomatic service, or of promoting John W. Garrett. He has heard good things about Nelson O’Shaughnessy, and if Garrett gets transferred believes O’Shaughnessy could be promoted into his place, but does not know enough about the issue to speak positively on it.
