Ambassador Bacon writes Theodore Roosevelt from France, where he has been staying with the outgoing ambassador Henry White and taking over his house. Bacon was reluctant to accept the post as Ambassador to France and is sorry that White is leaving the diplomatic service. Bacon saw Roosevelt’s family when they were in England and he was glad to hear about Roosevelt’s journey from Edith. He laments the possibility that Gifford Pinchot will be forced out of the Taft administration and reports on what he did during his stay in London.
