C. Grant La Farge’s brother-in-law, Benoni Lockwood, traveled from London on the same ship with Prince Heinrich of Prussia. The prince told Lockwood that he is “anxious to hear some real negro singing” during his visit to the United States. La Farge directs President Roosevelt’s attention to an upcoming program from the Armstrong Association at Carnegie Hall which he believes the prince will enjoy.
