President Roosevelt informs Robert Foster Maddox he will be unable to visit Atlanta, Georgia, in May. If he does go on a trip at that time, it will be straight to Texas. Nevertheless, Roosevelt tells Maddox that he does plan to visit Atlanta and see Roswell, Georgia–the hometown of Roosevelt’s mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt–sometime during his presidency.
