Ambassador Choate pledges to support the Roosevelt administration. Sympathy for Roosevelt and the United States is strong in Great Britain. Roosevelt’s actions since succeeding to the presidency have convinced the British government and people that relations between the United States and Britain will remain stable. During an audience with King Edward VII, the king asked many questions about Roosevelt and showed a familiarity with Roosevelt’s “outer life.” Edward VII requested that Choate send his kindest regards to Roosevelt and requested photographs of Roosevelt and William McKinley.
