President Roosevelt advises Ambassador Reid against showing correspondence between Roosevelt and German Emperor William II to King Edward VII, as doing so may cause Roosevelt to lose the Emperor’s trust. Roosevelt nevertheless wishes for Reid to have the letters so that he can clear up any confusion that arises related to the matter. Roosevelt expresses his confidence in Reid’s attendance at the upcoming Pilgrims dinner being hosted for British Ambassador to the United States James Bryce.
