Theodore Roosevelt declines to join a proposed organization, since he is spending all his time promoting an undivided American nationalism. He agrees with the aim of the organization, that Britain and the United States should have very close ties and be sworn allies. He admires the British Navy and hopes that the United States will build one comparable, although not surpassing it. The envelope is addressed to Mrs. Douglas Robinson.
