Letter from Oliver Wendell Holmes to Theodore Roosevelt
Justice Holmes reports to President Roosevelt about his letter regarding “the Alaska question.” Holmes details that he shared Roosevelt’s private letter with individuals in Ireland and London. Joseph Chamberlain did not care much about this particular controversy but believes England has to back up Canada. Holmes states that Chamberlain was amiable but thought the implications of Roosevelt’s letter were grave and needed to be regarded with the greatest respect.
