John St. Loe Strachey is in favor of amnesty and does not think the government will be harsh in the matter, although he is not in favor of giving back the vote. Strachey also approves of President Roosevelt’s firm stance on Cuba, as it shows that he is not bound to his party simply because he is part of it. Some Americans have told Strachey that because he, a British editor, praises Roosevelt so highly, Roosevelt must be pro-British and a bad American. Strachey offers to start being more critical of Roosevelt in his paper. Finally, Strachey tells Roosevelt about a visit from Corinne and Douglas Robinson, and says that he and his wife hope to visit the United States soon and would like to visit Roosevelt.
