President Roosevelt tells Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte that he has had to refuse both invitations, and remarks that he “shuddered slightly at the usual ‘Excellency’ in the Mayor’s letter.” Secretary of State Elihu Root has given Roosevelt details about the running of the Department of State for the next several months, but Roosevelt has not heard from any other Cabinet members apart from Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock.
