George Otto Trevelyan was pleased to read President Roosevelt’s letter on president-elect William H. Taft’s religious opinions because Trevelyan’s wife Caroline is a also Unitarian. He outlines the history of her family’s becoming Unitarians, and notes that Unitarians used to be politically popular in Leeds. Trevelyan also notes that his son Charles, who Roosevelt had previously been very kind to, has been made Parliamentary Secretary for Education.
