Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

President Roosevelt disagrees with several statements Secretary of State John Hay wrote. While Hay was one of the most “delightful characters” Roosevelt had ever met, he found Hay lacking leadership qualities as a Secretary of State. Roosevelt provides Senator Lodge with his view of the Alaska Boundary dispute in 1903. He includes copies of the letters Roosevelt wrote to Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes and Henry White to show to British Secretary of State for the Colonies James Chamberlain and Prime Minister James Arthur Balfour. Roosevelt explains why certain appointments were made following the death of President William McKinley and details for why Hay was not consulted on matters concerning the Russo-Japanese War and the acquisition of Panama.

Letter from David Jayne Hill to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Hill brings the enclosed map to President Roosevelt’s attention. It was created by Walther von Wiese und Kaiserswaldau at the request of the late Baron Hermann Speck von Sternburg. Von Wiese und Kaiserwaldau serves in the military in German East Africa, and is also an avid sportsman. The map indicates conditions and locations of game in German East Africa. Hill notes that if Roosevelt ends up going into German East Africa, he should give him sufficient time to allow the Imperial Government to extend the appropriate courtesies.
