An unsigned memorandum notes that President Roosevelt sent a telegram addressed to Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Jørgen Løvland to be forwarded to Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon. Roosevelt then asks Bacon to tell US Minister to Norway Herbert H.D. Peirce “on Monday to appear in person” and read a statement on the President’s behalf. The memorandum notes that the telegram mentioned “is copied in the President’s letter book.” A second page of the memo repeats the same information from the first page.
