Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Hay
President Roosevelt has explained repeatedly to James Alexander Scrymser and William Emlen Roosevelt that the action was taken according to Roosevelt’s direction. Roosevelt also asks Secretary of State Hay if treaty negotiations with Panama are happening currently. Roosevelt was pleased with the story of a Japanese squad of enlisted men who felt lost when Chinese officials wanted “to treat them as conquerors and pay them with honor.”
