Arthur Hamilton Lee is hopeful that James Bryce will prove to be more useful in Washington, D.C., than his predecessor, H. Mortimer Durand. He has been talking to King Edward VII about Anglo-American affairs and summarized what happened in the Russo-Japanese negotiations for peace. The King was excited to hear of peaceful intentions and attitudes emanating from the United States. Looking back on it, Lee is grateful for the opportunity to frame President Roosevelt in a good light for the King. Lee is proud in general of what he has been able to orchestrate mostly out of the eye of the public.
