Theodore Roosevelt, White House, April 25, 1906, to J. J. Jusserand
MY DEAR AMBASSADOR,
During the past year our relations have been those of peculiar intimacy in dealing with more than one great problem . . .
It is the simple and literal truth to say that in my judgment we owe it to you more than to any other one man that the year which has closed has not seen a war between France and Germany, which, had it begun, would probably have extended to take in a considerable portion of the world. In last May and June the relations between the two countries were so strained that such a war was imminent. Probably the only way it could have been avoided was by an international conference, and such a conference could only have been held on terms compatible with France�s honour and dignity. You were the man most instrumental in having just this kind of conference arranged for. I came into the matter most unwillingly, and I could not have come into it at all if I had not possessed entire confidence alike in your unfailing soundness of judgment and in your high integrity of personal conduct. Thanks to the fact that these are the two dominant notes in your personality, my relationship with you has been such as I think has very, very rarely obtained between any Ambassador at any time
and the head of the Government to which that Ambassador was accredited . . .
( Quoted in What Me Befell, pages 325-6. )
From The Making of a State by Dr. Thomas Garrigue Masaryk
�. . . the French Ambassador, M. Jusserand, who had been may years at Washington, knew everybody, was known to everybody and, of all the Ambassadors, had the greatest influence on American statesmen and President Wilson. Both by reason of his political experience and literary culture—he wrote in English as well as in French—he had become a recognized authority in diplomatic circles and in Washington society.� ( page 223 )
.�Mr. Richard Crane was secretary to Mr. Lansing and with him as with his father, my relations were constant. Nor must I forget either the French Ambassador, m. Jusserand, who helped us everywhere and in every way, even with the President ; or Colonel House, the influential adviser and confidential friend of the President, with whom I discussed very thoroughly the problems of war and peace.�
( page 274 )
On November 15 I paid my last visit to President Wilson in order to thank him heartily and to assure him of the gratitude of our whole nation. Of all our political friends and well-wishers I took a warm farewell, especially of M. Jusserand and his wife and of his colleagues ; and I naturally said good-bye to Secretary Lansing, to the other principal members of the Government and to the chief officials. The preparations for the Peace Conference were practically complete, and Mr. Lansing informed me that he had drafted, for his own use, a peace programme which, in general character, resembled our own.

From What Me Befell, by J. J. Jusserand, 1933
[Of childhood]
Autumn was spent at Le Bachelard, a very modest old house, . . . in the midst of the little hamlet formed by the homes, stables, barns and cellars of the peasant families working on the property. The ceilings are supported in ancient fashion by apparent oak beams ; the chief curiosity consists in a wall-paper of large dimensions dating back to the time of the Directoire, and representing pastoral and other scenes in the midst of the imaginary Greek ruins then so much the fashion. When, years and years later, I was sent to Poland at the time of the Bolshevist onslaught, I would go alone, of evenings, to the Lazienki park, and there meditate on how France could best help that country in her direst need. I was there in congenial surroundings, for I had found to my surpries, realized in stone by the last Polish king, Stanislas-Augustus, those same fancy Greek ruins, broken columns, bridges, statues and fountains, pictured on the wall-paper at Le Bachelard.
