Letter from John Barrett to Theodore Roosevelt

Responding to a request from President Roosevelt, John Barrett details his analysis and his involvement in a number of matters of international relations regarding Colombia, Panama, and South America generally, as well as Japan and China. He responds to the president’s concerns that he has been “too much in the papers.” He also suggests that Roosevelt visit South America at some future time after leaving the presidency.
