Letter from Charles S. Francis to William Loeb

Subject(s): Apponyi, Albert, gróf, 1846-1933, Briesen, Arthur von, 1843-1920, Rives, George Barclay

Charles S. Francis will comply with President Roosevelt’s request for him to speak highly of Arthur von Briesen and his competency to be the official counselor of the Hungarian Exposition of Agriculture in the United States. Francis has directed Secretary George Barclay Rives to follow suit if inquiries should be made of him. Francis requests that Loeb inform Roosevelt of the kind words spoken of him by Count Apponyi in his reply to Francis’s letter. Apponyi suggests autumn as the best time for Francis to visit Budapest, as Parliament will be in session and Francis will have opportunities to meet members of the Royal Hungarian Government. Francis thinks Roosevelt has made a marvelous record of shaping federal legislation in the last sixty days of Congress.
