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.
