Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, notifies President Roosevelt that Myron T. Herrick will be visiting the White House and plans to decline being appointed Minister to Italy. Butler suggests Roosevelt make it known to Herrick that he does not take this declination personally as Herrick will be a useful Ohio supporter. Butler also suggests that James Speyer be invited to Prince Heinrich of Prussia’s state dinner. Speyer has considerable influence and is familiar to Prince Heinrich.
