Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid reports that he took the first opportunity to meet with King Edward VII and present President Roosevelt’s letter, which the King appreciated. Reid thought the King looked well, although he was “a good deal affected” by the recent assassination of Carlos I, King of Portugal. It seems likely that Prime Minister Henry Campbell-Bannerman will retire soon, as he is in poor health. The general feeling is that H. H. Asquith will replace him, although things are generally not going well for the Liberals.
