Ambassador Jusserand forwards a letter from Colonel Olivier Mazel to President Roosevelt concerning Mazel’s opinion of American officers at the French School of Application for Cavalry. Jusserand knew John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton but has not read the essays Roosevelt mentioned and will seek to obtain them. He comments on the Turkish revolution along with Wilbur Wright’s work in Le Mans, France. Jusserand wishes to be kindly remembered by the Roosevelt family.
