Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lawrence F. Abbott

President Roosevelt encourages Lawrence F. Abbott to say that he spoke after having looked at the same documents that Roosevelt had access to regarding the Portsmouth Treaty. Roosevelt feels it is ridiculous for The Springfield Daily Republican to call for a formal denial of the vague reports from Ambassadors Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini and Baron Roman Romanovich Rosen. The unofficial statements would under no circumstances require President Roosevelt’s involvement, and he has made himself clear in his own letters.

Letter from Douglas Robinson to William Loeb

Douglas Robinson tells William Loeb that General Count Arthur Cherep-Spiridovitch, who will be presented to President Roosevelt by Russian Ambassador Roman Rosen, has asked Robinson to write a letter of introduction to Roosevelt. Robinson informed Cherep-Spiridovitch that in accordance with Roosevelt’s request, he does not write letters of introduction. Robinson writes this letter, however, so that when Cherep-Spiridovitch is presented to Roosevelt, Loeb can tell him that Robinson and Corinne Roosevelt Robinson knew Cherep-Spiridovitch in Moscow. Robinson clarifies that they do not know Cherep-Spiridovitch well and that the letter is only written for diplomatic reasons.
