Theodore Roosevelt writes to Cora Urquhart Potter, famed socialite and stage actress, that he has already been taking action through his daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, for a memorial to “dear Margaret.” The Margaret referred to is likely Roosevelt’s 2nd cousin, Lucy Margaret Roosevelt who had died a few months earlier.
