June 6, 1916.
I left New York June first, motored as far as Brookfield, Massachusetts,
where I spent the night and reached Manchester, Mass, at lunchtime June second.
Several long-distance telephone calls were awaiting me, all of them about the
chairmanship of the National Committee.
I wrote the President a short note and sent a telegram in connection
therewith.
I did no work on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and received no mail
since it had all gone to Sunapee. I motored to Sunapee today, arriving in
time for dinner. There was much accumulated mail but nothing of pressing
importance.
June 10, 1916.
My correspondence practically covers everything since I have been
here. Letters from the President, my letters to him, those from Gerard,
Page, Brand Whitlock, etc. etc. speak for themselves. I wrote Sir Edward
Grey and sent a copy to the President, all of which are a part of the diary.
Joseph Davies telephoned Thursday concerning troubles brewing in the
Trades Commission. I advised what I thought best to do. Such troubles,
I think, would not arise if the President paid a little more attention to the
various departments. No one can see him to explain matters or get his ad-
vice, therefore they come to me and I have to do it at long-range which is
difficult and unsatisfactory. The President lacks executive ability and
does not get the best results from his Cabinet or those around him, I
should have an hour a week for each Cabinet official and <add>for each</add> head of <add>an</add> important
