Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Hodges Choate

Subject(s): Edward VII, King of Great Britain, 1841-1910, Hay, John, 1838-1905

President Roosevelt acknowledges receipt of Ambassador Choate’s letter, and hopes to see him at the White House soon. He is pleased by the Isthmian Canal treaty, and believes Secretary of State John Hay “is already satisfied of having stayed with me.” Roosevelt was interested to read Choate’s account of King Edward VII’s remarks about him, and asks Choate to convey his personal greeting and regards to the King.
