Henry Adams would rather visit President Roosevelt on March 2 with just the two of them. He jokes that after this spring, he and Andrew Jackson will be the “solitary monuments” in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. While Jackson may be as handsome as Roosevelt, “he is not as good company at dinner.”
