President Roosevelt to the Emperor of Japan.

[Telegram.]

The White House,
Washington, October 20, 1905.

I thank Your Majesty for your kind expression of appreciation of the services I was permitted to render in the cause of peace. It is to me very gratifying that the treatment accorded to the Japanese plenipotentiaries in the United States was such as to merit so cordial a recognition on the part of Your Majesty.

Theodore Roosevelt.
