John Barrett responds to a note that Edward Charles O’Brien sent to Secretary of State Elihu Root about an article on the trip of Professor William R. Shepherd to South America. Barrett asks O’Brien to explain the situation to the University of Montevideo, because newspaper reports often do not give a full picture. He seeks to clarify Shepherd’s objectives in Latin and South America. Barrett also congratulates O’Brien for his work as Minister to Uruguay.
