Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Arthur Hamilton Lee

Responding to a letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee, President Roosevelt notes that A. Maurice Low was blacklisted from access to the White House or other governmental agencies after he printed slanderous material. Roosevelt is surprised that Fabian Ware keeps Low on the staff of London’s Morning Post. Roosevelt agrees to have Fülöp László paint his portrait. Roosevelt also informs Lee about international relations between the United States and Canada, particularly with reference to immigration from Japan. He recounts discussions he has had with William Lyon Mackenzie King on this subject, and what the position of the United States is on the matter–namely, that working class Japanese immigrants should be kept out of English-speaking countries, and that working class immigrants from English-speaking countries should be kept out of Japan.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Arthur Hamilton Lee

President Roosevelt believes Arthur Hamilton Lee handled the “Swettenham matter” efficiently, calling the matter itself a “cosmic incident” and citing others like Swettenham in American Government, most notably General James Harrison Wilson. He was amused by the opinions of John William Burgess, who was awarded the Theodore Roosevelt professorship in at the University of Berlin. While Roosevelt admires some of Burgess’s scholarly accomplishments, he considers Burgess “hopefully wrong-headed” and criticizes his first lecture denouncing the Monroe Doctrine.

Letter from Arthur Hamilton Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Arthur Hamilton Lee writes President Roosevelt on two matters. First, he is glad that Roosevelt has agreed to see the painter Fülöp László when he is in Washington. He thinks László is a talented painter and hopes Roosevelt will sit for a sketch, although he is aware it would be an imposition. Second, he apologizes sincerely for attempting to befriend A. Maurice Low, whose letter was published in the London Morning Post. Lee did not know that Low’s letter would be so bad. He vehemently wishes Low could be fully punished and assures Roosevelt that the Post will not publish such a letter again.
