Alice Lee congratulates President Roosevelt on his victory, “a real triumph for the ‘pioneer spirit,'” and a clear vote of confidence from Massachusetts in particular. Lee believes great things will happen during Roosevelt’s second term, including Panama being built, the Philippines growing, and China opening its doors. She wishes John R. Proctor could have lived to see it.
