President Roosevelt thanks King Edward VII for sending him a book on Sèvres porcelain. Roosevelt comments on the progress of the United States Naval Fleet’s trip to the Pacific, and says that he believes that the interests of English-speaking peoples are the same in both the Atlantic and Pacific. While they should be careful to not unduly insult anyone, they should show that they are able to defend themselves. Roosevelt believes that immigration is a tricky subject, and thinks that large-scale mixing of wage workers of two races can bring about trouble. For the moment, however, Roosevelt believes that internal problems are more pressing than external, and is concerned with making wealthy people realize that they have responsibilities to society.
