ARTHUR HUGH FRAZIER LETTER TO CARTER GLASS, 1918
Arthur Hugh Frazier, of the United States Embassy in Paris, writes to Carter Glass at the
Hotel Meurice concerning a visit to the British front. Included with the letter are carbon copies
of communications with Major R.V.C. Bodley, Assistant Military Attaché of the British
Embassy, a telegram discussing a delay and a letter from the Earl of Derby suggesting an
alternative date. In October 1918, Carter Glass, with Congressmen Byrnes and Whaley, planned
a visit to the British front in France. The visit was delayed under the restriction of a 10-14 day
notice. An alternative date of Nov. 2 was suggested by Lord Derby “instead of asking for the
usual 10 days’ notice.”
