Cecil Spring Rice writes to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt on the general state of affairs in Europe, Russia, and the Far East. He discusses the unrest in Russia, where he is acting as British ambassador, which has allowed the Germans to come into greater conflict with the French. The balance of power has been upset, with Germany doing “pretty much what she pleases, unless she is ashamed.” Also of interest is the condition of the Russo-Japanese war, where although the Russians outnumber the Japanese, there is a serious issue of morale. He hopes to hear news from Oyster Bay soon.
