Alice Roosevelt was received well in New Orleans and her visit resulted in a great deal of discussion about President Roosevelt as well. General Wheeler was among old friends there, many of them Democrats and either old confederates or sons of confederates, and he reports that they were generally complimentary of Roosevelt, though some do not like the Cuban treaty and others differ with him on various issues.
