Anna Belle Karow has been disappointed that Theodore Roosevelt has not previously visited Savannah, Georgia. As she anticipates that he will visit for the unveiling of a statue of a common ancestor to the both of them, however, she wishes to invite him to be the guest of her family. Karow details how she is related to Roosevelt, explaining that they share great-grandparents.
