President Roosevelt to Emperor of Germany.

[Telegram.]

I am much gratified at Your Majesty’s purpose to send your yacht Hohenzollern to be present at the christening of your new yacht by my daughter, and I assure you of a hearty welcome for your brother, Admiral Prince Henry, to whom I can personally express my cordial feelings of esteem for Your Majesty and my earnest wishes for the prosperity of the German people.

Theodore Roosevelt.
