Ambassador Meyer writes to Secretary of State Hay, forwarding a letter from the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count V. N. Lamzdorf. Lamzdorf would like President Roosevelt to learn information regarding the Japanese plenipotentiaries for the peace conference. Meyer thinks it would be best for both Japan and Russia to send Roosevelt the names of their plenipotentiaries so they could be announced at the same time. The countries would then have the opportunity to choose new individuals if necessary.
