Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Arthur Lee is enjoying his holiday in the Scottish Highlands and feels refreshed after engaging in outdoor recreation. He is glad to hear Theodore Roosevelt is likewise taking pleasure in his leisure. Lee discusses recent British political issues, including debates over Constitutional law and Irish Home Rule. Additionally, he comments on international relations between Morocco, Germany, and France, and the United States’ proposed arbitration treaty with Great Britain. Hopefully, in the near future, he and his wife, Ruth Moore Lee, can travel to the United States and visit the Roosevelt family.

Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Arthur Hamilton Lee is hopeful that James Bryce will prove to be more useful in Washington, D.C., than his predecessor, H. Mortimer Durand. He has been talking to King Edward VII about Anglo-American affairs and summarized what happened in the Russo-Japanese negotiations for peace. The King was excited to hear of peaceful intentions and attitudes emanating from the United States. Looking back on it, Lee is grateful for the opportunity to frame President Roosevelt in a good light for the King. Lee is proud in general of what he has been able to orchestrate mostly out of the eye of the public.
