Letter from William Loeb to Alvey A. Adee

William Loeb requests that Second Assistant Secretary of State Adee read the enclosed letter and discreetly tell Minister Carlos C. Arosemena that communications of that type must be sent through the Department of State. Regardless, however, it is embarrassing to receive any such request on behalf of citizens of Washington “who come within certain rules that it has been found necessary to adopt in connection with social functions at the White House.”

Letter from William Loeb to Alvey A. Adee

William Loeb asks Second Assistant Secretary of State Adee to read an attached letter and then suggest to Carlos C. Arosemena that such communications should be sent through the Department of State.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alvey A. Adee

Everything possible must be done for Ellen Maria Stone, an American missionary who was kidnapped on the Turkey-Bulgaria border. However, President Roosevelt wishes to stress that the government has no power to pay ransoms as every missionary or traveler to “wild lands” should be aware. It is his personal opinion that women have “no earthly business” going as missionaries to such places.

Telegram from George von Lengerke Meyer to Alvey A. Adee

Russian Ambassador George von Lengerke Meyer sends Assistant Secretary of State Adee news about Russia’s reaction to the defeat of her fleet. People believe war is useless but they are not yet ready for revolution. The Russian government will bring about reforms so people will read this, be relieved, and not revolt. Through a non-official source, Meyer mentions two opportunities for United States involvement: with monetary demands channeled through Japan that could drag war out another five years, or using Théophile Delcassé in France to respond.
