Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Diplomacy, Great Britain, Health, Meetings, United States, United States. Congress, Washington (D.C.)

Arthur Hamilton Lee received President Roosevelt’s letter and would like to speak with Roosevelt in person. Lee has been feeling for some time that the “men-at-the-wheel” have not been as in touch or as informed of each others’ views as they should be. Under normal conditions, Lee would rush over to see Roosevelt at once, but as he is currently in poor health, he will have to postpone traveling for a few months.
