In 1912 it was the Hon. J. A. Tawney, of Min nesota, who prevailed on ex-president William Taft to speak a good word for me to Mr. Guild, our Ambassador to St. Petersburg, who was at the time on a visit to the United States. In 1913, I was again put under great obligations to Mr. Tawney for securing for me a personal letter from His Royal Highness the Duke of Con naught, Governor General of Canada, to Lord Buchanan, the British Ambassador in St. Peters burg, to whom I owe a debt of thanks for the many kindnesses extended me.
