Ambassador Francis informs President Roosevelt of his work at the Austrian and Hungarian embassies. He discusses his plans to visit Budapest and affirms that he is accredited to the King of Hungary as well as the Emperor of Austria. Francis states that he will look after American interests in the region while always keeping the principles of the American government in mind. He also writes that many cases of United States citizens facing problems trying to return home from Austria and Hungary have been reported, but the Imperial Government is very slow in responding to communications about these cases. Francis promises to look into the matter.
