President Roosevelt appreciates the congratulations from Fraser Metzger. Roosevelt knew that what he wrote in the Metropolitan would appeal to Metzger. Roosevelt wants Metzger to think about how the Wilson administration holds that a man can be the President of the United States and have dual nationality, and that the U.S. cannot protect him if he is seized by a foreign government.
