Ambassador Reid sends a copy of a speech that Sir Dyce Duckworth made toasting President Roosevelt’s health. Reid also encloses a report in the Daily Telegraph of his speech in Bath. Reid will likely not travel to the United States this winter and would not be able to vote in the election even if he had returned to New York, as he does not have continuous residence or registration.
