Letter from Peder O. Evensen to Theodore Roosevelt

Peder O. Evensen believes President William H. Taft and Secretary of State Philander C. Knox need to “press the peace plan to European nations”; otherwise, they “shall forget their promises.” He is certain that war between European nations will occur.
