Judge Holt addresses a New York Times article regarding rumors about former British Ambassador to Persia H. Mortimer Durand’s appointment as British Ambassador to the United States. Holt encourages Durand’s appointment as Ambassador based on his brother in law, former Minister to Persia, Arthur Sherburne Hardy’s positive reflections on Durand. Holt cites Durand’s admiration for President Roosevelt’s writings on the West.
