William Sturgis Bigelow informs President Roosevelt that the Japanese government would be gratified if there could be an exchange of professors between Japan and the United States, much like the United States does with France and Germany. Bigelow has a large amount of books and paintings in Japan that Postal Inspector Anthony Comstock will not let him bring into the country. Doing so would require special arrangements both in Japan and the United States, and Bigelow asks if anything can be done regarding this. Bigelow says that progress on the twenty dollar coin is going nicely. He has heard that Roosevelt is going to make up for taking “In God We Trust” off the coins by putting “I know that my redeemer liveth” on treasury notes.
