Theodore Roosevelt is much obliged to French Ambassador Jusserand for his two letters, the first one of which he has sent to John Reed. Roosevelt is familiar with Joseph Bédier’s “striking” pamphlet, and he is glad that Jusserand liked his recent article in Metropolitan. Roosevelt is not pleased about Senator Beveridge’s letters from Germany. As to what Jusserand said about Uncle Sam having no friends, Roosevelt does not believe that Uncle Sam is entitled to have friends “so long as his government representatives carry neutrality to the point of being neutral between right and wrong.”
