Ambassador Bryce has been entrusted with delivering an oral message of goodwill to president-elect William H. Taft. The only opportunity he will have is at 11:45 Saturday night when Taft first arrives at the White House. He asks William Loeb if President Roosevelt would permit him to visit at that time to deliver the message.
