Letter from Henry White to John Hay
Acting charge d’affaires to Great Britain Henry White writes to Secretary of State Hay about British political issues, Parliamentary legislation, and Anglo-American concerns which the legation is handling. The Entente Cordiale was signed by France and England to the relief of both countries because neither wanted to be dragged into the Russo-Japanese War on the sides of their respective allies. White describes the financial legislation that is being considered. He then characterizes the negotiation process about the Samoan claim, the Nicaraguan incident, and the Ladd extradition case.
