Theodore Roosevelt was pleased to hear from Robert John Wynne. He notes that he appointed Wynne as Postmaster General and later Consul to Great Britain because he “needed in the public service a man of your high character and indomitable, aggressive courage.” Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Wynne in London and wonders if Wynne can arrange for him to meet Redmond. He asks whether it is alright for him to do so, as he does not know much about English politics.
