The memorandum directs George von Lengerke Meyer to call on Czar Nicholas II to say that under the personal direction of President Roosevelt he urges Nicholas II to speak with representatives of Japan to end the Russo-Japanese War. It states that Roosevelt and all of Russia’s friends believe continuing the war is only detrimental to Russia’s holdings in East Asia. Roosevelt also believes that it would be best for Russia and Japan to negotiate directly without the interference of outside powers. Roosevelt suggests a meeting location somewhere between Harbin and Mukden.
