William Loeb writes to Assistant Secretary of State Forster with a message for him to deliver to Japanese Minister Kogoro Takahira. President Roosevelt explains the situation regarding Russian plenipotentiaries. Russia has agreed to move the peace talks to Washington, D.C., from the Hague, Netherlands. Roosevelt believes that Russia indeed intends to make peace with Japan and he feels it would be best to grant an armistice if one is requested.
