Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Bucklin Bishop

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Bucklin Bishop

Theodore Roosevelt explains to Joseph Bucklin Bishop that he did not betray what he said in confidence, but that he did not expect Senator Thomas Collier Platt to publish the explanation he gave him of the issue, and that Francis E. Leupp, “simply put two and two together.” He encourages Bishop’s plan to purchase the newspaper he is interested in, as although it would not influence New York much, it would have a national impact.

Letter from George von Lengerke Meyer to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Meyer writes President Roosevelt about the Russo-Japanese War. Meyer describes Stanley Washburn’s report of dwindling American sympathies with the Japanese. Washburn does not believe the Japanese army will ever beat the Russian army in Manchuria. Meyer mentions his interactions with Camille Barrère, the French Ambassador, and his indication that French and German banks are beginning to side with Russia. Meyer also relates an interaction he had with the Japanese minister, in which the minister stated he was interested in Roosevelt’s thoughts on Manchuria and Japan’s control of Port Arthur.

Letter from T. Herbert Warren to Theodore Roosevelt

T. Herbert Warren, Vice Chancellor of Oxford, has received the copy of President Roosevelt’s Romanes lecture. He intends to send a more detailed letter of his opinions later, but generally, he finds the lecture to be “new and suggestive” and believes it will be well received. Warren would like, however, to keep the lecture “absolutely secret” until Roosevelt presents it.
