Washington Commissioner
Panama-California International Exposition
San Diego， 1915
405 Southern Building
Washington D.C.，Jan.5， 1912.
Hon.James Deitrick，Elysee Palace Hotel，Paris， France.
My dear Colonel：
I have not had much of interest to write you， but to-day I want to send you a bundle of clippings， registered， so that you can see some of the things that have been said about Dr.Sun and the Chinese Republic.I have already sent you a few， but there are many more to come.I am including some of the regular Associated and other Press Matter， some editorials， and some of the matter that went out from this office.You will see that there is a good deal of it， and that the comment is far from unfavorable.
You will find enclosed 100 clippings about the Chinese Republic.
As you will observe by the inclosed clipping relating to “Dinner for Mr.Weitzel”， Penfield was， one of “those present”.A few days previous he gave a dinner or luncheon for Weitzel.
I don't know anything very new that would be of interest to you， things are quiet as far as Nic.matters are concerned.I note that Knox yesterday cabled congratulations on the opening of the session of the Mixed Commission in Managua.
Mrs.D.Joins me is hoping that you and Mrs.Deitrick are having a good time in Paris and in sending best regards.We hope to see you both again soon.
Very sincerely，
F.J.Dyer

华盛顿，1912年1月5日
致尊敬的戴德律，法国巴黎爱丽舍皇宫旅社。
尊敬的上校：
我本无兴致写信给你，但今天我想寄给你一包剪报，挂了号的。这样你可以知道据说是有关孙博士和中华民国的事情。我已经寄过一些给你，但接踵而来的还有更多。总计有一些定期的美联社和另一新闻社若干社论，以及一些从这间办公室里发出的东西。你看有大量的这类东西。报道也远非是否定性的。
随信附上100份有关中华民国的剪报。
你会发现其中关于“请威泽尔先生吃晚餐”的剪报。彭菲尔德是那些出席了的人中的一个。数日前他请威泽尔吃晚餐或午餐。
我不知道有没有令你感兴趣的新情况。有关尼加拉瓜的事态很平静。我留意到诺克斯昨天拍电报祝贺在马拉瓜的联合委员会会议开幕。
我太太同我一道希望你和尊夫人在巴黎度过一段愉快的时光，并致以美好祝愿。我们希望尽快见到你们。
弗朗西斯·约翰·戴尔 谨志
