Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

President Roosevelt encourages Lawrence F. Abbott to say that he spoke after having looked at the same documents that Roosevelt had access to regarding the Portsmouth Treaty. Roosevelt feels it is ridiculous for The Springfield Daily Republican to call for a formal denial of the vague reports from Ambassadors Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini and Baron Roman Romanovich Rosen. The unofficial statements would under no circumstances require President Roosevelt’s involvement, and he has made himself clear in his own letters.

Letter from John Callan O’Laughlin to Theodore Roosevelt

John Callan O’Laughlin met with Ambassador Cassini who insisted that the action of the Russian government was the result of the message he sent after his talk with President Roosevelt. Cassini showed O’Laughlin his dispatch book and translated the message he had sent where he counseled expediency by the government. Nevertheless, O’Laughlin believes Roosevelt to be correct in his assessment that the Russians would have delayed negotiations had Roosevelt not communicated with them through Ambassador Meyer.
