Letter from James Bronson Reynolds to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from James Bronson Reynolds to Theodore Roosevelt

James Bronson Reynolds has returned from a trip to the Philippines, China, and Japan, and is interested in future trade relations with China. He thinks America needs to modify its attitude about “coolie labor” and treat Chinese gentlemen with the same respect Americans receive when in China. Roosevelt’s recent consular changes in China are well-received. Reynolds thanks Roosevelt for his actions related to a ministry of Romania. He is traveling to Europe but hopes to return in time to take part in city campaigns. He has enclosed memoranda including recommendations related to the consular service and China.
