This is the one experience that I have found irritating.

They commiserate me on having a Government that will not provide an Ambassador's residence--from the King to my servants.

They talk about American lynchings.

Even the _Spectator,_ in an early editorial about you, said that we should now see what stuff there is in the new President by watching whether you would stop lynchings.

They forever quote Bryce on the badness of our municipal government.
