Eleonora Kissel Kinnicutt thanks President Roosevelt for the letter of introduction, which has helped her in studying statistics regarding the national health system in Germany, her “special study subject.” She finds that in Great Britain there is no centralized health system, and a liberal member of Parliament told her Britain looks to the United States to lead the way. Kinnicutt has been working to have Southwark Cathedral present a gift to Harvard Chapel, in acknowledgement of the restoration work done by Harvard graduates and stained glass window donated by American Ambassador Joseph Hodges Choate. A friend told Kinnicutt and amusing story about Andrew Carnegie and Emperor William II of Germany. Kinnicutt remarks on the democratization of social mobility in England.

While born into wealth and position, Roosevelt worked strenuously for the good of the country. His election to the presidency shows that American democracy is not tyrannical, and recognizes excellence wherever it is found.
