President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Francis for the letter, and comments that, “evidently the Storers have left many, many things undone which they should have done, in addition to doing those things which they ought not to have done.” Roosevelt approves of Francis’s plan regarding when to visit Budapest, and emphasizes that it will be a delicate business. He feels that Francis has taken up the duties of his post “in just the right spirit for an American representative.”
