To lames Jenkins Dossen Boston, Mass., December ~ 2, 1908 My dear Vice-President Dossen: I have not written you before this for the reason that I have had nothing special to report. I was in Washington this week and had quite an interview with Mr. Root, also with Ambassador Bryce. I think I wrote you some time ago that Ambassador Bryce spent two days recently at Tuskegee in company with Sir Harry Johnston, and we went over Liberian matters pretty thoroughly. I am quite convinced that Secretary Root, Mr. Bryce and Sir Harry Johnston are all friends of Liberia, and in the highest degree favorable to maintaining its independence as a nation. Secretary Root has received the report from the special agent who went to Liberia, but it contains nothing that was not known before and nothing that has not been already covered in . . c Discussion. It is possible that there will be some developments in connection 69S
