Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Archibald B. Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt met with William Cary Sanger on Sunday and Sanger was interested in Archie Roosevelt’s proposals. He suggests that Sanger is the person that Archie should work with. Roosevelt read an article by Sanger’s son and agrees with much of it. However, he disagrees with guaranteeing the independence of the Philippines and that Central and South American countries should become guarantors of the Monroe doctrine. Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt attempted to develop a path through Smith’s Field. He warns Archie against damaging his prospects by appearing uncouth and wearing soiled clothing.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Whitelaw Reid, Ambassador to the United Kingdom, updates President Roosevelt on King of Britain Edward VII’s respectful behavior toward Sultan of the Turks Abdülhamid II. Turkey has embraced British Ambassador Sir Gerard Lowther, who has ended up in a position of power mostly by luck. The German Emperor William II has been recklessly deepening the financial troubles that plague Berlin. Reid does not think Roosevelt will need his Colonel’s uniform for visiting England, and details the appropriate attire. He discusses an agreement made with Chairman of the Republican National Committee Frank H. Hitchcock to send copies of the Daily Tribune to voters in New York. Lord Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes has been unavailable due to travel, but Reid should have more information when the next session begins in three weeks.
