Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Cuba, England, Politicians--Correspondence, Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)

Arthur Hamilton Lee sends friendly greetings to President Roosevelt and discusses Lee’s work in the British government. He then goes on to discuss the Russo-Japanese War and their “little friend Shiba in Cuba.” He concludes by saying how much he misses “his American friend” and while he knows Roosevelt is busy, he does not want to lose touch simply because of distance and the passage of time.
