Letter from Frederick William Holls to Theodore Roosevelt

Frederick William Holls argues against joining Great Britain and Japan in their opposition to the Russian annexation of Manchuria. He believes that friendship with Russia is very important and that Russian and American interests do not seriously conflict. Holls will be unable to serve as an “umpire” to arbitrate claims by Germany and Italy against Venezuela. He has other commitments that will prevent him from leaving the country during the summer.
