White, Henry, 1850-1927 Archives - Theodore Roosevelt Center

President Roosevelt writes to Henry White that he mourns the death of German Ambassador Hermann Speck von Sternburg, a man he regarded highly. Roosevelt will likely be presented to King Edward VII of Great Britain as a private citizen while he is visiting Oxford, and if requested he will also visit William II, the German Emperor, so as not to offend him.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador White for the clipping he recently sent and for hosting Admiral Charles H. Stockton in Paris. Roosevelt is anxious for the Great White Fleet to travel to the Pacific Ocean, because while he wants Japan to know he has nothing but friendly intentions, he also wants them to know he is not afraid of them. Roosevelt wishes Congress would provide adequate housing for American ambassadors abroad, but is afraid it will take some time to accomplish it.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

President Roosevelt is pleased with Henry White’s news on the Alaska business. The Canadians have published some ugly articles that might influence English opinion. It will be unfortunate if the Commission is deadlocked but even worse for the Canadians and English. If an agreement cannot be reached, Roosevelt will treat the disputed territory as American and forbid all future negotiations.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

Theodore Roosevelt agrees that it was phenomenal to start a new party and defeat the Republicans. Governor Wilson was the strongest possible Democrat but his vote total was reduced to less than what William Jennings Bryan received in 1908. Roosevelt expects the Democrats to hold power for some time but the Progressives must remain prepared to serve the nation.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Henry White for his letters. He assures White he is in this presidential race until the end because the old parties mean nothing, and the Republican party is politically corrupt. Mr. Nicoll’s remark is significant, and all of his Democrats will go for President Taft if necessary.
