President Roosevelt was glad to hear from Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and Isabella Ferguson, and tells them that his children Kermit Roosevelt and Ethel Roosevelt both enjoyed seeing them. Roosevelt has no objection to Ferguson’s older brother, Ronald Craufurd Munro Ferguson speaking with American ambassador Whitelaw Reid, and says that “there are some ticklish things coming up in connection with the Newfoundland fisheries, and there is always the possibility of its being really important to have a good man here.”
