Ambassador Meyer writes to President Roosevelt regarding Meyer’s discussion of the Russian situation with French official Maurice Rouvier. Meyer mentions that Rouvier is concerned about the impact of the Russian securities downfall on France’s financial situation, yet German official Bernhard Bülow has a more positive outlook. Next, Meyer describes his dinner meeting with Emperor William II who commented on Roosevelt’s cablegram messages, remarks, and stance regarding a tariff and treaty. Meyer then goes into detail about Russian strikes and the potential plans for deploying Russian Cossack troops to help keep things in order.
