William E. Mantius thanks William Loeb for congratulating him on his recent transfer to Paris, although he wishes they would have left him in New York. Since he arrived he has been hustling and although President Roosevelt gave him a personal letter to Ambassador Robert Sanderson McCormick, he may as well “have delivered that letter to the man in the moon” due to the lack of “American intelligence energy and courtesy” he has received at Avenue Kléber. He describes United States insurance companies as having a “bad reputation” and also offers his opinion on the Separation Act.
