Letter from Robert Bacon to B. Storer
President Roosevelt has directed Acting Secretary of State Bacon to answer one particular point in Bellamy Storer’s letter. Roosevelt’s letter of December 11 was not a personal, private letter but rather a communication between officials of the United States. Storer was supposed to read the accompanying letter and pass it on to his wife, Maria Longworth Storer, who was to take “certain definite action” to prevent the severance of Storer’s post in diplomatic service. She did not fulfill these conditions and Bacon finds it difficult to count Storer’s lack of reply to Roosevelt’s letter as mere “folly.”

Letter from Robert Bacon to Theodore Roosevelt
Acting Secretary of State Bacon has spoken with Jacob H. Hollander, who assures him that neither he nor Secretary of State for Treasury and Commerce Federico Velásquez y Hernández of the Dominican Republic were aware of a conversation occurring with Speyer & Company, although they have had ample opportunities. Bacon believes that Speyer & Company were not disadvantaged in any way, and that the plan they proposed was simply not as advantageous as that presented by Kuhn, Loeb, and Company and the Morton Trust company. He promises nevertheless to meet with Charles H. Tweed, as Roosevelt directs.

Letter from Robert Bacon to George von Lengerke Meyer
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon writes to Ambassador George von Lengerke Meyer about the situation in Russia. The blame for the instability of the Duma should be evenly distributed between Tsar Nicholas II and his advisors. Bacon believed actual action and sacrifices mean more than words and sees the need for the formation of a constitutional government and a route out of bankruptcy as Russia’s highest concerns. The government is suppressing the distribution of the new Viborg Manifesto, created by former Dumas members.
