John Callan O’Laughlin met with Ambassador Cassini who insisted that the action of the Russian government was the result of the message he sent after his talk with President Roosevelt. Cassini showed O’Laughlin his dispatch book and translated the message he had sent where he counseled expediency by the government. Nevertheless, O’Laughlin believes Roosevelt to be correct in his assessment that the Russians would have delayed negotiations had Roosevelt not communicated with them through Ambassador Meyer.
