Notifying him that he may charge expenses he incurred in visiting Dublin to inspect a house to determine whether it was suitable for summer quarters of the embassy; with a manuscript postscript wishing him a pleasant time in Berlin and hoping that he finds "Anglo German relations improving", and commenting on the political state of affairs in the United States ("Here we have an extraordinary position, a Republican president supported by a Democratic House & opposed by a Republican Senate. It is all very amusing.").
