President Roosevelt believes an article “gives a totally unfair coloring” to the peace talks surrounding the end of the Russo-Japanese War. He explains to Lyman Abbott his reasoning behind using every effort to show Japan and Russia the error of breaking with each other during negotiations between the countries. He will forward a contemporary letter he wrote to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge detailing the negotiations.
