Letter from Cheng Liang to Theodore Roosevelt

Chinese Ambassador Cheng Liang expresses his government’s gratitude for the fair way President Roosevelt has dealt with the Imperial government.

Liang also comments on developments in China in general, including the construction of schools, the fight against the opium trade, and the building of railroads, the last of these being the reason Liang was recalled from the United States.
