President Roosevelt requests asks Ambassador White to provide context to the foreign office regarding William Howe Tolman’s request. Roosevelt believes that his newfound association with The Outlook is part of the reason that Tolman wants William Bailey Howland to be conferred the Legion of Honor. However, Roosevelt believes this request is wholly inappropriate and objects to the conferment on the grounds that it will hinder his ability to publish anything about France.
