Letter from Charlemagne Tower to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Tower relays the telegraphed response of the German Emperor to President Roosevelt’s letter. The Emperor is in full agreement with the President with respect to peace between Russia and Japan. The Emperor had thought that England and France might work against Roosevelt because French foreign minister Théophile Delcassé had a separate plan for peace that would indemnify not only Russia and Japan with Chinese lands, but also Britain and France as the price of their intervention.

Letter from Charlemagne Tower to Oswald von Richthofen

Ambassador Tower summarizes the understanding of the United States regarding the new commercial treaties Germany has entered into with various European nations, and asks Baron Oswald von Richthofen, German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if the treaty between the United States and Germany signed in 1900 is to continue. Because the 1900 treaty was based on earlier agreements now superseded by the various commercial treaties mentioned above, the United States government hopes that the advantages of the new commercial treaties will likewise be extended to the United States.
