Letter from Frank E. Barney to Theodore Roosevelt
Frank E. Barney asks Theodore Roosevelt to grant him a favor and using Roosevelt’s influence to get Barney a special act of Congress which would allow him to receive his pension. Barney gives examples of his patriotism such as singing patriotic songs and naming his son after Abraham Lincoln. Barney hopes Roosevelt can help him because even though he made mistakes, he has spent a lot of time making up for them.
