Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Viscount James Bryce

President Roosevelt asks Ambassador Bryce to thank Earl Selborne for his courtesy, but he does not expect to go to South Africa on his trip. He intends to follow Edward North Buxton’s suggestions, but to spend six months in the wilderness, rather than two, as Buxton suggested. Roosevelt also mentions an article by Sydney Brooks on Secretary of War William H. Taft and the other men in his administration that he appreciated, and asks if Brooks got the information from Bryce.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid

President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Reid for some clippings he has sent, and says that he finds Sydney Brooks’ criticisms of American policy in the Philippines to be expected, but finds the current situation preferable to the British administration of Malaysia. Roosevelt also finds the distinctions drawn by The London Times between treatments of Japanese workers at the hands of Americans and Australians to “have a certain comic side.” Roosevelt cannot say what Secretary of War William H. Taft will do, but he hopes Taft will come directly home after traveling through Russia.
