Letter from George Marvin to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Marvin to Theodore Roosevelt

George Marvin informs President Roosevelt that while he had initially planned on taking Roosevelt’s suggestion to make a report on the schools in the Philippines, his plans have since changed. Marvin has been asked by the Viceroy of Manchuria and the Governor to create a publicity campaign to draw attention to the continued aggression of Japanese and Russians in Manchuria in spite of ongoing diplomatic negotiations. Marvin sees the fact that the Chinese government is seeking to publicize this issue as an indication of the difficulty of the situation there, and hopes that he will be able to help preserve Chinese sovereignty.
