Maria Longworth Storer tells President Roosevelt that Francis Augustus MacNutt denies that he was dismissed from diplomatic service at the Vatican and has simply gone back to the United States to “rehabilitate himself.” Ambassador to Italy Henry White is friendly with MacNutt, though Storer hopes that Secretary of State Elihu Root can find proof of his dismissal. She also asks if she and her husband can be special envoys to Spain in the event of the wedding of King Alfonso XIII.
