Letter from Francis Augustus MacNutt to Henry White
Papal Chamberlain Francis Augustus MacNutt wants to explain to Henry White about William Dudley Foulke’s suggestion that he “correct certain calumnies spread against me in Rome.” MacNutt knows that White intends to speak with the Portuguese Ambassador to the Vatican, M. d’Antas, who has been MacNutt’s loyal friend. The Austrian Ambassador Count Nikolaus Szécsen von Temerlin has received misguided information that needs correcting. MacNutt worries that President Roosevelt has been misled concerning MacNutt’s conduct and reputation and that only Roosevelt can correct the injury done to his character.
