Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry White

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.
