Ambassador Reid thanks President Roosevelt for his well wishes. His father-in-law is still sick, and Mrs. Reid will be with him for some time. She is hoping Anna Roosevelt Cowles will come visit. Reid hopes to be in Washington for a few days before returning to his post. One of the pictures of Roosevelt with Kaiser Wilhelm II is back on the market and being held for Reid. He hopes to get the original of the other picture, but it may have to be redrawn.
