Letter from John Callan O’Laughlin to Theodore Roosevelt

John Callan O’Laughlin met with Ambassador Cassini who insisted that the action of the Russian government was the result of the message he sent after his talk with President Roosevelt. Cassini showed O’Laughlin his dispatch book and translated the message he had sent where he counseled expediency by the government. Nevertheless, O’Laughlin believes Roosevelt to be correct in his assessment that the Russians would have delayed negotiations had Roosevelt not communicated with them through Ambassador Meyer.

Letter from John Callan O’Laughlin to Theodore Roosevelt

John Callan O’Laughlin informs President Roosevelt that Ambassador Cassini has received no communication from Russia. Cassini stated that if he were able to see Ambassador Meyer’s report of his conversation with Czar Nicholas II to ascertain whether Russia wanted peace and if Roosevelt was encouraging Japan to be “moderate,” he would recommend a peace conference. O’Laughlin passed along Roosevelt’s perspective that Russia was defeated on land and sea and that must be kept in mind during negotiations.
