On the advice of his sister, Grace H. Dodge, Cleveland H. Dodge advises that Theodore Roosevelt wait to attempt a reconciliation between Ballington and William Booth because those who may assist, namely John R. Mott, are away for the summer. Dodge feels that William Booth will be the harder man to convince and suggests enlisting help from those near “the old General” in London such as Bishop Arthur F. Winnington Ingram. Dodge fears that this may be a harder job for Roosevelt than even the settlement of the Russo-Japanese War.
