British Ambassador Bryce thanks President Roosevelt for sharing Ambassador William Woodville Rockhill’s letter regarding the Dali Lama. As permitted, he shared it with Foreign Secretary Earl Grey, Secretary of India John Morley, and Prime Minister H. H. Asquith. Bryce includes Grey’s and Morley’s responses. The Atlantic Fleet’s reception in Australia delights Bryce. In a postscript, Bryce shares in Roosevelt’s grief over the death of Ambassador Herman Speck von Sternburg.
