Eugene A. Philbin informs William Loeb that he has heard that a representative from the English government will soon visit President Roosevelt “with a view of obtaining from him an adverse expression of opinion as to the administration of the affairs of the Congo Free State by the Belgium government.” Philbin expresses his opinion that this is a religious matter with which Roosevelt should avoid involvement. He also writes about Consul Edwin J. Sullivan in Turkey, who has attempted to ask Philbin to be a reference in order to secure a Consul post in Dublin, but of whom Philbin does not approve.
