President Roosevelt sends Ambassador White a self-explanatory letter for him to read and return relating to some of the recent furor surrounding former Secretary of Legation Francis Augustus MacNutt. Former diplomat Archibald Loudon Snowden accused MacNutt of showing official correspondence with foreign representatives. Snowden agreed to retract his statement, but has subsequently refused to do so. Roosevelt largely knows about MacNutt from reports of Bellamy Storer and Maria Longworth Storer, and while he relies on them less, still comments that his personal impression of MacNutt is unfavorable.
