Ambassador Reid traces the origins of a story that President Roosevelt heard. Reid does not think the story could have come from the British Ambassador at Berlin, Frank Cavendish Lascelles. Reid has looked over the correspondence Roosevelt sent to see if there is anything in Roosevelt’s letter or the Emperor’s which could do harm if known to the King.
