Letter from Harry Johnston to Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Johnston thanks President Roosevelt for facilitating a warm reception when he visited the Panama Canal construction site, where he met president-elect William H. Taft. Johnston then wrote a letter to Taft on his return to Colòn about the city’s appalling hotel and infrastructure. He now worries that this was inappropriate. If Taft is angry, he asks Roosevelt to “placate his wrath.” Johnston also wonders why Roosevelt is going hunting in Africa instead of somewhere in South America, Central America, or the Antilles. He shares his address in England, and hopes that United States Minister to Haiti H. W. Furniss will retain his position in the new administration.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt
United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom Reid comments on Winston Churchill’s recent promotion to the Privy Council, noting that it acknowledges his rise in the party without giving him a seat in the Cabinet. Churchill is still not well liked. Reid relays the debates on Horace Curzon Plunkett in the House of Commons and reports on English newspaper coverage of Roosevelt’s speech at Jamestown. He comments on unease over labor relations in France, the planning of an event after the Colonial Premiers’ Conference, opposition to a proposed move for a limitation of armaments at the Hague Conference, and Lewis Harcourt’s proposed English Land Bill.

Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt
Anna Roosevelt Cowles informs President Roosevelt of Ted’s excellent marksmanship and work with Troop A at Peekskill. Through Captain Herbert Barry, she is aware of an impertinent and critical letter Roosevelt received about Ted, so she wanted to assure him of Ted’s success. Cowles remarks how happy Mr. and Mrs. Colby were to be received by the Roosevelts and mentions a recent letter from Alice Roosevelt Longworth that was “perfectly absorbed in election news.”
