Theodore Roosevelt is concerned by what he has learned from Carl Hovey. Roosevelt tends to believe John Reed’s letter and debates how Ambassador J. J. Jusserand should proceed in the matter. The controversy involves Robert Steel Dunn being at the front as a neutral war correspondent. Dunn fired two shots from the German trenches into the French trenches.
