Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

President Roosevelt asks his sister, Anna Roosevelt Cowles, to tell her husband, Rear Admiral William Sheffield Cowles, that he will consider appointing John A. Mudd, but is not so favorably inclined towards appointing him because of his tendency to promote himself. Roosevelt likes Chinese Ambassador Liang Cheng, and thinks he will be a good influence on China. He is pleased to hear about Cowles’s son William Sheffield Cowles, and promises to try to teach Kermit Roosevelt, who is Sheffield’s companion, some tennis also.

Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Anna Roosevelt Cowles to Theodore Roosevelt

Anna Roosevelt Cowles is glad President Roosevelt is at Sagamore and done with all of the hand shaking. Her husband William S. Cowles was home for the Fourth of July but has returned to Washington, D.C. Cowles recommends to her brother the volume Heretics by G. K. Chesterton. The Chinese minister mentioned while visiting that he plans to give suffrage to land owners based on a conversation he had with Roosevelt. Cowles’s son William Sheffield Cowles Jr. has been homebound much of the summer to avoid catching the whooping cough which is being passed around children in town, although he is canoeing, playing tennis, and vegetable gardening. The Chinese minister and Cowles both agree that horses are preferable to automobiles, as she is “in deadly terror of running into some one.”

Memorandum from Alvey A. Adee

Memorandum from Alvey A. Adee

Assistant Secretary of State Adee summarizes a visit from the Chinese Minister Cheng Liang. Liang had received a telegram from his government, asserting that the treaty to be ratified October 8 is to include an agreement that China can open two ports in Manchuria. Adee notes that this agreement has been affirmed and will be part of the treaty, without reference to any questions between China and Russia. Adee and Liang also discussed the upcoming sedition trial at Shanghai of Chinese dissidents, noting that the United States government would not interfere but would expect the agreed-upon judicial proceeding to vindicate the law.
