Grant, Edith Ruth Root, 1878-1962
Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elihu Root
Diplomatic opinion in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany is that the United States will lose a war with Japan if one breaks out. President Roosevelt believes that the only thing that can prevent a war is making the Japanese believe they will be beaten, which can only be done by making the Navy more efficient. Roosevelt is inclined to warn officials in San Francisco of the injury created by their discriminatory policies against Japanese immigrants.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Gray
President Roosevelt thanks David Gray for his kind words about Kermit Roosevelt’s sportsmanship. He is glad Gray wrote about Algernon Edward Sartoris, as the situation has been troublesome. Roosevelt wanted to appoint him, but the situation was complicated and he has turned it over to Secretary of State Elihu Root. Gray’s agreement on the economic situation pleases Roosevelt, but he knows many are angry over the depression. He stands equally against union labor tyranny and capitalist tyranny, and hopes the newspapermen and reactionaries will not succeed in stoking a sentiment against him. Gray’s fox hunting is of great interest. Roosevelt now has two good hunting horses, replacing Old Bleistein, who has been retired to a buggy. He hopes Gray will visit, though he does not promise excitement.
