Subject(s): Anniversaries, Burial, Jones, John Paul, 1747-1792, Scheduling, Serapis (Ship), Speeches, addresses, etc.

President Roosevelt tells Charles J. Bonaparte he cannot be present on Peggy Stewart Day, and it can probably be arranged to have the reinterment on the anniversary of John Paul Jones taking the Serapis on September 23. Roosevelt is “mighty glad” Bonaparte made a recent speech, which Roosevelt believed was “good from every standpoint.”
