Letter from Charles S. Sperry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Charles S. Sperry to Theodore Roosevelt

Admiral Sperry will treasure the commendation in the letter President Roosevelt wrote him on December 5. He asks Roosevelt to write a testimonial about his service to the Navy Department if and when he successfully sails the Great White Fleet back to the United States. This would be a valued capstone to his permanent record. The British authorities at Gibraltar have been very accommodating, and the Fleet itself is operating smoothly.

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador to Italy Henry White recaps key aspects of the Algeciras Conference for President Roosevelt. White notes that American influence was well-received, that America asserted its economic rights while maintaining its neutrality in continental affairs, and that this should silence Roosevelt’s isolationist critics in the Senate. The Germans were unable to disturb Anglo-French unity, and they should treat the Italians with more respect if they wish to preserve the Triple Alliance. White relates his very positive interactions with the Spanish ambassador, noting that relations have improved since the recent war. He also praises his fellow American delegate, Samuel R. Gummere, America’s first ambassador to Morocco.
