Letter from Montagu White to Frederick Courteney Selous

Letter from Montagu White to Frederick Courteney Selous

Montagu White met with Governor Roosevelt and found him to be sympathetic to the Boers. However, Roosevelt did not think he would have an opportunity to assist those who are working for peace and conciliation. White does not regret having come to the United States but is finding it difficult to imagine a committee that would bring pressure on the administration to work for peace.

Memorandum from W. W. Kimball to Theodore Roosevelt

Memorandum from W. W. Kimball to Theodore Roosevelt

W. W. Kimball recommends a plan for constructing a canal in Panama that will require the least amount of resources to protect and defend it from other countries. Kimball believes a canal in Nicaragua could be better because America would be able to have better control over it. He thinks it will be easier, diplomatically speaking, to build a canal there as well. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty has already made it easier to build a canal there than in Panama. He will always be available to give President Roosevelt opinions on the matter.
