Assistant Secretary of State Peirce will not be able to complete his report about his investigation of the consulates before the end of October. However, he does have information that Emperor Meiji wished for him to convey to President Roosevelt. He also has news from Hirobumi Ito and Jutaro Komura about the policy of Japan and the events which led to the declaration of hostilities between Japan and Russia. Peirce would like William Loeb to convey this information to President Roosevelt and ask when Peirce can visit him at Oyster Bay, New York.
