President Roosevelt tells William Sturgis Bigelow that he is glad to hear about the coins, and thinks that the pictures that Bigelow mentioned would be something that people would “make a great yell about.” He suggests that Bigelow make a request that the United States permit the introduction, which would let Secretary of State Elihu Root see if it is possible to do anything. Roosevelt promises to do what he can to arrange for an interchange of professors between the United States and Japan.
