Ambassador Reid sends President Roosevelt an article from a British newspaper discussing the American presidential campaign that, unlike most others, “shows a more intelligent knowledge of the situation.” Reid shares that Liberian President Arthur Barclay is in London concerning foreign interests and Liberia, a matter which Reid previously reported on to Secretary of State Elihu Root.
