Emperor William II believes that peace should be made between Russia and Japan, and that President Roosevelt is the best person to help accomplish that. Ambassador Tower encloses a copy of the note that William II sent to him, in order that Roosevelt can gain a better understanding of his purpose. William II sees a continuation of the war as being hopeless for Russia as the people are against it and may try to assassinate Emperor Nicholas II.
