Ambassador to Italy Henry White thanks President Roosevelt for appointing him to attend the Algeciras Conference on behalf of the United States. An associate wrote him that his coadjutor, Ambassador Samuel R. Gummere, may prefer German to French influence in Morocco. White relates his Thanksgiving experiences hosting Lord and Lady Trevelyan and visiting American Episcopal, Methodist, and Catholic celebrations in Rome. White anticipates a collapse of the ministry in Italy soon, or at least a reorganization, owing to a customs arrangement with Spain which is unfavorable to the Italian wine industry. White wishes Theodore Roosevelt Jr. a speedy recovery from a football injury.
