Earl Grey was an intimate friend ot the late Joseph H. Choate, American ambassador to Great Britain, often visited the United Staten, called upon Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at Washington, and declared that he was a lover of America. This sentiment he gave as hls reason for restoring to the United States a picture of Benjamin Franklin which had been In ponseaston of the family atnee Earl Grey's great grandfather. Major-General Charles Grey, was quartered to Franklin’s bouse In Philadelphia as an officer of General Howe’s staff during the Revo lutionary War. The restoration of the picture was announced by Eerl Grey a . a banquet tendered to him In New York, while he was governor-general of Canada.
