George von Lengerke Meyer writes to Secretary of State Hay about a letter Meyer received from Russian Foreign Minister V. N. Lamzdorf. In the letter, Lamzdorf points out that the Imperial Government would like President Roosevelt to find out Japan’s viewpoint on an armistice and Japan’s plans for appointing plenipotentiaries. Meyer goes on to express his idea that both Japan and Russia should give their plenipotentiary nominations to Roosevelt, who will then share the nominations with each country’s ambassadors.
