Letter from Tomás Estrada Palma to Theodore Roosevelt

Estrada Palma writes that this transfer has been completed. He thanks Roosevelt and the United States for their “act of justice” that allowed for the creation of a sovereign Cuba. He also thanks Roosevelt for his statements of friendship and hopes that the Republic of Cuba and the United States continue to share this bond for many years.
