Throws Bouquet to Veterans in Texas
Paris, Tex, Dec 29.-Replying to an invitation extended by Albert Sidney Johnson Camp, U. C. V., extended through its commander, J. W. Hardison, President Roosevelt promises to visit Paris on his Southern trip, if possible. His letter says, in part:
'Personally I had kinsmen on both sides. Two of my mother's brothers fought in the Confederate service-one, by the way, served on the Alabama under Admiral Semmes, the father of the wife of that gallant ex-Confederate, Luke Wright, whom I have made Governor of the Philippines. It was but the other day that I designated the only living grandson of Stonewall Jackson a cadet at West Point and have just made 'Jeb' Stuart, Jr., United States marshal for the Eastern district of Virginia.'
