he had not told his father as yet and I was cautioned to keep it a profound se-
cret. In talking to him of his ambassadorial duties, I hoped I might live long
enough to see an ideal ambassador at the Court of St James-- an ambassador who,
while protecting American interests, would have the good sense to bring about a
dignified friendship between the two governments; an ambassador who would become
the farther confessor of the Central and South American Republics, and who would
make our embassy the rallying point for the weaker nations of the world.
I introduced Fletcher to my old friend, T. Jefferson Coolidge. He told
Mr. Coolidge that he had come here to see me in order to be able to write "Hadji"
after his name.
Sidney Brooks writes me an interesting letter. He had an interview
with the King and he, too, <del/> confirms what Northcliffe said, that the
King wondered why I had not written him.
July 19, 1917.
Fortunately, I have had no visitors today and have been able to pick up
the odds and ends. The telephone has been only fairly busy. The using of the
telephone so freely makes my diary incomplete because I cannot record the number
of things I do through its instrumentality.
I am pleased to have such a cordial reply from the World through Cobb
concerning my plan for an international forum. Copies of Cobb's letter, my re-
ply and my letter to the President about it are parts of the record.
McAdoo writes that he intended to come up today but was detained by
urgent business. He will probably be here next week. In response to his re-
quest to see me, Gordon has arranged for the Russian Ambassador to come on Sun-
day for lunch. Frank Polk and Gordon are insistent upon sending a secret ser-
vice man here to guard this place at night. I am fighting against it, as he
would be something of a nuisance, and I do not like having such a man around for
more reasons than one.
