Former President Cleveland congratulates President Roosevelt on his handling of the Venezuelan crisis. He also points out that he had remained quiet on the situation until giving a statement to the World a couple of days before this letter. When he saw his words published he was not sure that he had said quite what he intended, but he did not believe any harm was done. He hopes the President’s continued care and prudence will prevail.
