Letter from James Jeffrey Roche to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): California, Presidents--Public opinion, Press and politics, Yeats, W. B. (William Butler), 1865-1939

James Jeffrey Roche plans to be in Washington, D.C., in January or February. Though he could not join President Roosevelt in California, everyone he spoke with along the coast admired the president. Roche hopes that Roosevelt will see William Butler Yeats when he visits Washington, D.C. Roche encloses a Boston Pilot article from eight years ago to show that he was “among the first of the prophets.”
