March 24, 1909.
My dear Mr. Peirce:
Thanks for your letter of the 10th instant, in which you speak in so friendly a way of my appointment to this post.
I am much interested to hear that Mr. Root's name has been submitted to the Nobel Committee. I fully understand the delicacy of your position in the matter and I think that of the Department is equally delicate, in a way. I should have rather expected a request for the documents to come in definite form through the Norwegian Legation here. However, since you have an intimation upon which you can act, I have today directed that the documents you desire be at once sent you.
Please present my compliments to Mrs. Peirce, and believe me, always,
Yours sincerely,
[signature]
The Honorable H.H.D. Peirce,
etc., etc., etc.,
The American Minister,
Christiana.
