Abbott is pleased with the Alaskan boundary decision as it lays a practical basis for the arbitration of international disputes and “adds lustre” to the State Department of President Theodore Roosevelt’s administration. Abbott returns a newspaper clipping and is pleased to see that some Mississippians recognize the “value of high standards in political life.”
