French Ambassador Jusserand thanks President Roosevelt for the letter and book, which he says he has been reading in the midst of seeing work done to the house. He has spent the majority of his days on the top of ladders, not like some ambassadors who must only emphasize their greatness. Jusserand goes into detail about some of the stories, saying that they remind him of Secretary of State Elihu Root’s lecture at Yale where he noted that the main thing is progress.
