Letter from John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt

John Hay sends Theodore Roosevelt part of a letter from Harry White that gives information about German relations and the Russian Emperor. White says that German Ambassador Metternich asked for his opinion on whether relations between Germany and the United States had improved. White also reports that the King (apparently the British King) said that “the German Emperor does and thinks exactly what the Russian Emperor thinks,” and that “the Russian Emperor’s refusal of all reforms … may very likely cost him his throne.”

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for his letter of May 15 and apologizes for making Roosevelt read so much of his poor handwriting. Lodge praises Roosevelt’s speech that he gave in Chicago. He suggests that labor unions are more dangerous than capitalists because the labor unions control more votes. Lodge mentions several political issues, including the continuing unrest over laborers from Japan, possible charges against Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis, the appointment of Charles J. Bonaparte as Attorney General, as well as international relations. Lodge also gives some details of his trip to Italy.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry Cabot Lodge informs President Roosevelt that he has received a letter from Senator White about a delay of the sittings for the commission in London because Lord Alverstone might go shooting. Lodge wrote to try to convince him otherwise. Senator Herbert spoke with Mrs. Nannie Lodge about a possible delay in the Tribunal meeting, which will conflict with other scheduled work. Lodge thinks the friends of the administration should be on hand in force for the “Cuban business,” but feels that he and Root should act on the commission. Lodge wonders whether the delay of the Tribunal is to force “us to resign” and get others who are more amenable. Lodge encourages Roosevelt to write himself to Lord Lansdowne to set things straight.
