Theodore Roosevelt has a negative opinion of Arthur Ruhl and will not provide a letter to help him in Russia and Serbia. He suggests Mark Sullivan write to Ambassador Jusserand. Roosevelt enjoyed the Jonas story and approves of John Waterbury’s poem, especially since Waterbury styles himself as an appropriate type of hyphenated American, an “American-American.”
