Letter from George von Lengerke Meyer to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Meyer writes President Roosevelt about the Russo-Japanese War. Meyer describes Stanley Washburn’s report of dwindling American sympathies with the Japanese. Washburn does not believe the Japanese army will ever beat the Russian army in Manchuria. Meyer mentions his interactions with Camille Barrère, the French Ambassador, and his indication that French and German banks are beginning to side with Russia. Meyer also relates an interaction he had with the Japanese minister, in which the minister stated he was interested in Roosevelt’s thoughts on Manchuria and Japan’s control of Port Arthur.

There’s great excitement down in Washington these days

There is a flurry of activity in Washington, D.C., with people running around and an “express wagon” and “florist.” A number of signs are posted: “Bulletin—It is proposed to run Mr. Longworth for governor of Ohio,” “Later!! He has just been mentioned for U.S. Senator,” “Bulletin—A real lace hat from Paris has just arrived via messenger boy,” and “Important bulletin—Mr. Longworth has just lighted another cigar. Great excitement prevails.” A newsboy holds a newspaper that reads, “Extra—Nick has just had a sandwich.”

How gutters were kept clean in Paris about 1901. Old woman sweeping in front of Miss Alice Green’s house, 39 Rue de Villajuste, corner of the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne. What looks like a fence at left is really a series of small barriers to keep people from riding their horses on the part of the Avenue reserved for walking. A person could go through easily but not a horse.
