President Roosevelt notifies Ambassador Reid that Harriet Amelia Shonts, wife of Theodore P. Shonts, and their two daughters, Mary Theodora Shonts and Marguerite Amelia Shonts, will be in London soon. He asks if Reid would be able to help them be presented at court, as “Shonts is a man who would be entitled to this.”

Ambassador Reid sends a newspaper clipping from a British newspaper to President Roosevelt, asking if he is correct in assuming that its description of Roosevelt’s telegram to Emperor Wilhelm is “unfair and unfounded.” Reid agrees to “look after” Harriet Shonts and her daughters when they arrive in England if the courts are open, but mentions that it can be difficult to accommodate American visitors when there are fewer courts being held. Reid also comments upon the recent Algeciras Conference.
