Copy letter from Roger Casement to Gertrude Bannister, raging against the submissiveness of the US towards Britain,

1912 April 20.

Casement focuses on the willingness of the US Senate to hold an inquiry "into the loss of a British vessel [the Titanic] at sea". Casement admits relief at how "the Putumayo Mission [is] off my shoulders", though he fears that the Titanic disaster will limit public sympathy for some "far off Indians".
