Letter from John St. Loe Strachey to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John St. Loe Strachey to Theodore Roosevelt

President Roosevelt handled the Bellamy Storer affair exactly as John St. Loe Strachey expected. Strachey hopes that the Americans are able to make a model treaty with the Japanese, as he believes that England may confront similar issues soon. Strachey and his wife are traveling to Berlin to visit friends and he asks for a letter of introduction to Ambassador Charlemagne Tower. Strachey also asks Roosevelt what he thought about his recent article in the Spectator about the proposal to create representative government in India. In a handwritten postscript, Strachey mentions that he received a “capital letter” from General Leonard Wood, and he hopes to meet Wood in the United States.

He would be content to stay as Police Commissioner though he has probably done all he can.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid reports to President Roosevelt about the people being considered for the position of British Ambassador to the United States after H. Mortimer Durand’s dismissal. It is widely believed that Durand was dismissed due to being too firm in Newfoundland negotiations, and Reid believes the government will allow the public to believe that was the reason. Reid sends Roosevelt articles from the Daily Telegraph about Durand’s dismissal.
