Ambassador Reid discusses his toast at a Fourth of July banquet hosted by the American Society of London, which newspapers are saying contained a “slight dig” at Theodore Roosevelt. Reid quotes the paragraph in question, in which he praised John Hays Hammond, the special ambassador for the coronation. The American Society of London publishes its own pamphlet of the speeches that were given and Reid will send Roosevelt a copy when it is published.
