Ambassador Bryce thanks President Roosevelt for sharing Ambassador William Woodville Rockhill’s interesting and insightful letter about the Dalai Lama. He sent it to British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey, suggesting Prime Minister H. H. Asquith and Secretary of State of India John Morely see it in confidentiality and is certain they will do so. Bryce sends a letter and a memorandum forwarded from Hesketh Bell, the Commissioner of Uganda. He has spoken with both Edward North Buxton and Colonial Secretary Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes, who will eagerly do all he can to aid Roosevelt in his Africa trip. Bryce and his wife, Elizabeth Marion Ashton Bryce, will return to America in late September.
