President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Reid for keeping him updated on personal matters in the midst of his other work. He specifically mentions learning about George Macaulay Trevelyan from Algernon Charles Swinburne’s work, Songs Before Sunrise. Roosevelt is concerned about Secretary of State Elihu Root and believes turning smaller matters over to Assistant Secretary Robert Bacon has helped. Roosevelt is interested in Root’s and Reid’s opinions on British administration of Newfoundland.
