President Roosevelt sends Senator Aldrich some pieces of correspondence from German Ambassador Hermann Speck von Sternburg and Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw. He asks for Aldrich’s views on the matter, and, if possible, to get the views of Senator William B. Allison as well. Roosevelt wonders if it would be possible to do as the Germans suggest and send a representative to negotiate with them in November.
