Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Whitelaw Reid congratulates President Roosevelt on successfully scheduling the peace conference between Russia and Japan in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Reid claims that Japan shows “a shining example of moderation” in their willingness to negotiate peace when they, militarily, had defeated Russia. He also discusses his hesitance to relay his true feelings to the British newspapers due to the effect on his Russian friends in Great Britain. Reid mentions that Sir Francis Bertie was skeptical of the possibility of peace until Reid read him the telegram. He includes a handwritten note, presumably added after the signing of the treaty, congratulating Roosevelt.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid had previously gifted President Roosevelt the originals of two Punch cartoons that he had enjoyed, but was still working on obtaining two others. He was subsequently contacted by Edward Tennyson Reed, the artist of the second pair, who was not able to get the originals to give to Roosevelt, but instead offered to redraw the cartoons. One of these Reid sent with his wife, Elisabeth Mills Reid, but mistakenly thought he had sent the other as well. He just discovered the second of the pair, and now sends it to Roosevelt in the diplomatic pouch.
