Ambassador to Italy Henry White tells President Theodore Roosevelt that he will extend hospitality to Frances M. Wolcott at the request of the President and First Lady. White also discusses Roosevelt’s recent meeting with British diplomat Cecil Spring Rice and Roosevelt’s policy towards Latin America, especially the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. White is confident Roosevelt’s actions (part of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine) will lead to America’s “supremacy in our own hemisphere.”
