French Senator Estournelles de Constant describes to President Roosevelt the itinerary for his upcoming trip to the United States. He will be delivering a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the occasion of the inauguration of the Carnegie Institute, and will also be visiting friends in New York, New York, and Washington, D.C., including Nicholas Murray Butler, J. J. Jusserand, Elihu Root, and Joaquim Nabuco. He insists that he also needs to see Roosevelt to discuss the projects he has been building up since their last meeting in 1902, and that his main aim in taking the trip is to visit with Roosevelt. He hopes Roosevelt can grant him a prompt reply so that he can finish planning his trip.
