Mr.Balfour really won the affection of us all, and I do not know when I was more sorry to have a man leave than I was to have him go last night.

He expressed himself as having been very much impressed with his reception and the way he was treated.

He was most fair in all discussions, and I think has a better understanding of our point of view.

I had the good fortune of being present at the financial and the diplomatic conferences, and I think we all felt that we were dealing with a sympathetic friend.
He and the President got on tremendously.

The best evidence of that was the fact that the President went up to Congress and sat in the gallery while Mr.Balfour addressed the House.
