Chamberlain, Neville, 1869-1940

Arthur Hamilton Lee is enjoying his holiday in the Scottish Highlands and feels refreshed after engaging in outdoor recreation. He is glad to hear Theodore Roosevelt is likewise taking pleasure in his leisure. Lee discusses recent British political issues, including debates over Constitutional law and Irish Home Rule. Additionally, he comments on international relations between Morocco, Germany, and France, and the United States’ proposed arbitration treaty with Great Britain. Hopefully, in the near future, he and his wife, Ruth Moore Lee, can travel to the United States and visit the Roosevelt family.

Justice Holmes responds to a letter from President Roosevelt, in which he discusses the outcome of the Alaskan Boundary dispute with England. Holmes had showed Neville Chamberlain (Mr. C.) an earlier letter of Roosevelt’s, which could have been understood, though it was not intended, as a threat, and that may have affected the outcome. Both Holmes and Justice Edward White believe it was a “personal triumph” for Roosevelt.
