Charles S. Francis notifies Theodore Roosevelt that he took Roosevelt’s suggestion from his recent letter, and he then addressed Elihu Root. Francis received a response from Root stating he could “make nothing out of the Ambassadorship situation” except that William H. Taft told him the situation “was settled” and told Root nothing further. Francis quotes Root as stating that if the ambassadorship was “unsettled again,” Francis could rely on him to do his best for him. Frances thanks Roosevelt for his help.
