President Roosevelt was omitted from the guest list for the celebration of Pope Leo XIII’s elevation to the pontificate and the beginning of his Silver Jubilee year. Crimmins believes that Roosevelt’s omission was accidental and notifies Roosevelt that since the Silver Jubilee extends until March 3 congratulatory letters can still be sent. He also suggests that Bishop McDonnell could convey a message as he will soon be traveling to Rome.
