Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid

President Roosevelt requests that Ambassador Reid explain to Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes that his African trip is a scientific expedition to collect specimens for the National Museum, not “a game butchering trip.” However, if given the opportunity, Roosevelt may collect some trophies. The invitation from the chancellor of Oxford, George Nathaniel Curzon, to present the Romanes lecture gives Roosevelt a genuine reason to visit England on his return from Africa. He details his travel itinerary, plans for appropriate formal attire, and people to call upon. Roosevelt is interested in what the Japanese minister for foreign affairs Jutarō Komura says and includes his letter to Japanese ambassador Kogoro Takahira and the reply. Reid’s full statement on the incidents of the Olympics pleases Roosevelt, who believes intense international matches inevitably result in misunderstandings.

Telegram from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to John Hay

Telegram from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to John Hay

Ambassador Griscom was told by Baron Komura to inform President Roosevelt that the Japanese government is satisfied with the selection of Washington as the place of negotiations. The Japanese government was cautious about the nature of the powers to be conferred on the plenipotentiaries, but the Japanese government has confidence in Roosevelt so they accept his interpretation of Russia’s intentions and will appoint plenipotentiaries with full negotiating powers. Those appointed will be of high rank and position and will have the confidence of his Imperial Majesty and the Japanese government.
