Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary informs Charles A. Van Der Veer that Roosevelt is satisfied with the plans in place for him to visit and dedicate the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. However, plans for the Sunday after should be paused because he may wish to leave early so he can get to Mesa to spend as much time as possible with his son Archie. The secretary says that Roosevelt is pleased with all other plans for him in Arizona. He adds that Roosevelt particularly wants to meet with the Rough Riders in Mesa.
