Letter from Clare A. Cooper to Theodore Roosevelt
Clare A. Cooper expresses her gratitude to President Roosevelt for lending her money sent through Mary Elizabeth Blampey Trautmann. Because Cooper and her children are desperately in need and she does not wish to offend Roosevelt, she will not decline the money. However, she begs him to view it as a loan which she will repay. Cooper also thanks Roosevelt for his assistance in helping her find a good position, claiming she will work hard to do justice to her “kind sponsor.”
