Ambassador Tower encloses his entire correspondence regarding Edwin Lefevre’s desire to interview German Emperor William II. Lefevre wants to write an article in an American newspaper about the character and personality of William II and hoped to personally meet with the German emperor. Although it was not possible because William II was traveling, Tower informs Roosevelt that the Imperial Foreign Office was sympathetic to Lefevre’s intentions.
