Micajah Woods informs President Roosevelt of his unanimous election by the Red-Land Club as the organization’s only honorary member. The Club’s members want to meet Roosevelt personally, although many saw him during his visit to the University of Virginia. While the members hold differing political views, they have confidence in Roosevelt’s “honest purpose to do justice to all sections.” Woods reminds Roosevelt that his wife, Matilda Minor Woods, and daughter helped host him at Monticello. He wants to take Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to Farmington, the colonial era home of his sister Margaret Lynn Wood that Thomas Jefferson planned.
