Otto von Gottberg asks whether members of the press will be able to attend any of the ceremonies to be held at Oyster Bay before the meeting of the peace delegates at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Gottberg asks to be allowed to tour the grounds of President Roosevelt’s home, as the German people would be interested to read a detailed account of them.
