Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California, has written to Governor Hiram Johnson and Theodore Roosevelt’s son, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., to clarify that the remainder of the plans for Roosevelt’s trip to California are in their hands. Wheeler does hope that the Roosevelts can come celebrate the University of California’s Charter Day. He also believes that it will be possible for Roosevelt to visit Stanford on March 24, but make it back for the lecture in San Francisco that afternoon. Wheeler expresses his fondness for Roosevelt Jr. and his wife.
