Theodore Roosevelt sent a telegraph to French Ambassador J. J. Jusserand on Gouverneur Morris’s behalf. Roosevelt encloses a letter to Ambassador Sharp. Roosevelt criticizes any potential appointee of President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan. In a postscript, Roosevelt advises Morris to show this letter to the ambassador, but also to any Frenchmen and if it is presented to the ambassador, ask to retain it.
