President Roosevelt handled the Bellamy Storer affair exactly as John St. Loe Strachey expected. Strachey hopes that the Americans are able to make a model treaty with the Japanese, as he believes that England may confront similar issues soon. Strachey and his wife are traveling to Berlin to visit friends and he asks for a letter of introduction to Ambassador Charlemagne Tower. Strachey also asks Roosevelt what he thought about his recent article in the Spectator about the proposal to create representative government in India. In a handwritten postscript, Strachey mentions that he received a “capital letter” from General Leonard Wood, and he hopes to meet Wood in the United States.
