Assistant Secretary of State Loomis writes to Minister Griscom informing him that President Roosevelt has advised Minister Takahira that it would be unwise for Japan to appear uncooperative in the upcoming peace talks. Loomis explains that throughout the conflict, Russia has appeared to be the difficult party. Roosevelt believes that it would be a “misfortune for Japan” if they were to “hang back” in the conference. Although Roosevelt regretted that Japan rejected the Hague as the place of meeting, he has arranged for the meeting to take place in the United States.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom

President Roosevelt informs Ambassador to Italy Griscom that recent events have made the ambassador’s letter to the president obsolete. The publicity surrounding the incident has made it important that nothing further is said on it, and Roosevelt instructs Griscom to say nothing more on the subject. Apparently there is a “conflict of memory” regarding what was actually said in conversation with German Emperor William II. Roosevelt expects to hear from Griscom soon about whether King Victor Emmanuel III has a copy of Outdoor Pastimes.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom

President Roosevelt asks Lloyd Carpenter Griscom, ambassador to Italy, to thank King Victor Emmanuel III for his invitation to go on a hunt after Roosevelt leaves the presidency. Roosevelt appreciates the offer both because of the kindness the king shows, as well as because of a personal desire to hunt an ibex. Roosevelt is somewhat nervous about hunting alongside as good a marksman as the king is said to be. Unfortunately, Roosevelt says, if he accepted he would then be obliged to visit many other capitals in Europe, and because of this does not feel like he could accept until he is able to go as purely a private citizen.
