President Roosevelt is glad that Secretary of War Taft offered to go to Santo Domingo, but believes that it is not necessary as matters there have died down. He is very interested to hear what Taft thinks of conditions in Panama, especially following reports in the press about friction among members of the Isthmian Canal Commission. Roosevelt hopes Taft and his wife Helen Herron Taft will join Secretary of State Elihu Root at a dinner with historian James Ford Rhodes.
