Theodore Roosevelt returns a letter to William Sturgis Bigelow that was shown to Dr. Abbott for his private information. Roosevelt hears that abroad the American volunteer service is not popular, though he understands that if the U.S. was struggling it would not want French, English, and Belgians fixing it, but would rather do it themselves.

Theodore Roosevelt tells Ferdinand von Stumm that his point about Mexico is “perfectly fair.” If he had to, Roosevelt would choose blood-and-iron over milk-and-water, and he thinks it bad to arouse fear but worse to arouse contempt. Roosevelt thanks Stumm for his frank letter and hopes that he understands that what Roosevelt has said and written was with the intent toward justice, which is what he strove for as President. Roosevelt treated other countries with courtesy to increase friendship between them and the United States.
