Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador White recently travelled to the South of France to see the Great White Fleet, and he was highly impressed by both the vessels and the behavior of their crews. The day before the fleet departed he hosted a celebratory lunch for its commanding officers, French dignitaries, American diplomats, and American locals. White just attended a meeting in the Sorbonne amphitheater where Roosevelt will give his eagerly anticipated lecture next year, and he describes the space. On February 22 he will host representatives from the other “American countries” at a lunch honoring both George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. White hopes to encourage the celebration of this holiday in Latin American countries that Lincoln protected from European “annexation” with his adherence to the Monroe Doctrine.

Naval Commander Gleaves details his recent European trip during which he purchased fifty up-to-date torpedoes, which will begin arriving in December. He learned much about mines while observing a field trial conducted off of Marseille, France. Roosevelt’s letters to the various ambassadors made Gleaves’s movements around Europe easier, especially in Berlin where he was permitted to tour the torpedo factory. Unlike England, Gleaves reports a “friendly feeling for the United States” in Germany. Gleaves hopes Roosevelt can tour the Torpedo Station after speaking at Provincetown.
