President Roosevelt thanks John A. Sleicher for the editorials from Leslie’s Weekly he sent. Roosevelt is glad Professor M. M. Kovalevskiĭ published a report about the negotiation of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, because he never felt at liberty to discuss how he interceded with Sergei Vitte in the matter of Jewish Americans being prohibited from visiting Russia.
