John James compliments Theodore Roosevelt on his Memorial Day address at General Grant’s tomb on the topic of a peace treaty with England, though James hopes to inform Roosevelt of a topic that may change his opinion on international relations with the foreign power. He purports to hold a confidential report from the London Board of Education that proves that American statesmen and historical figures are belittled in English schools, and offers to send the report to Roosevelt.
