Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt
Acting charge d’affaires to Great Britain Henry White writes to President Roosevelt about many topics dealing with Ireland and England. White served in this role because Ambassador Joseph Hodges Choate was on the continent. As a result, he will go to the country estate of Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour for a weekend visit. White will inform Secretary of State John Hay by letter or telegraph of any important information that he learns during that visit. White encloses the book Ireland in the New Century, by Sir Horace Plunkett, which he describes at length. White discusses negotiations between England and France over territories in Africa. White also mentions that Professor S. H. Butcher, who taught Greek at Edinburgh, will be lecturing in the United States and asks if the President would see him. The professor would be a very interesting dinner guest at the White House.
