Letter from Kentarō Kaneko to Theodore Roosevelt

Kentarō Kaneko sends two post cards from Japan featuring President Roosevelt. Roosevelt gave him the picture last year at Oyster Bay. Everyone thought it was the best photo available. Kaneko is amazed it has been a year since he left America and reminisces on his times visiting Roosevelt in Oyster Bay. Kaneko is curious if Roosevelt ever received the letter which explains the gifts sent to Roosevelt by Emperor Meiji.

Letter from Kentarō Kaneko to Theodore Roosevelt

Kentarō Kaneko passed along President Roosevelt’s message to Baron Komura. Komura states that Russia has refused the Japanese compromise and postponed talks because of some “new event,” likely referring to Russian Prime Minister Sergei Witte’s proposal that Japan keep Sakhalin Island and drop its claims for reparations. Kaneko clarifies that Japan has actually already surrendered half the island of Sakhalin, and demands payment, not indemnity. Kaneko believes this is reasonable and wishes that Roosevelt would explain this to the senator.
