Whatever happen in Mexico, I'm afraid there will be a disturbance of the very friendly feeling between the American people and the English.

I am delivering a series of well-thought-out discourses to Sir Edward--with what effect, I don't know.

If the American press could be held in a little, that would be as good as it is impossible.
I'm now giving the Foreign Office the chance to refrain from more premature recognizing.

Sir William Tyrrell, to whom Page refers so pleasantly, was one of the most engaging men personally in the British Foreign Office, as well as one of the most influential.

Though he came to America on no official mission to our Government, he was exceptionally qualified to discuss Mexico and other pending questions with the Washington Administration.
He had an excellent background, and a keen insight into the human aspects of all problems, but perhaps his most impressive physical trait was a twinkling eye, as his most conspicuous mental quality was certainly a sense of humour.

Constant association with Sir Edward Grey had given his mind a cast not dissimilar to that of his chief--a belief in ordinary decency in international relations, an enthusiasm for the better ordering of the world, a sincere admiration for the United States and a desire to maintain British-American friendship.
