Robert Bacon asks William Loeb if there is some time when the “gentleman with the unpronounceable name” can visit with President Roosevelt. Bacon encloses a letter from the United States ambassador to Russia John Wallace Riddle, describing the person, but Russian Ambassador Baron Rosen has distanced himself from the gentleman. Bacon has told the gentleman that Roosevelt is unable to join the gentleman’s society, but may be willing to accept the token the gentleman wishes to present.
