Letter from Bernard S. Brown to Theodore Roosevelt
Bernard S. Brown asks Theodore Roosevelt to help secure steady employment for a young man, Joseph V. Higgins, who is trying to take care of his large family after his father was taken to the Wards Island Asylum for the Insane. Higgins is part of the Twenty Second Regiment of Engineers and has passed his civil service examination. Brown and Roosevelt have never met, but their mothers were friends.
