Henry E. Huck reports to Theodore Roosevelt that he finally got away from the sanitarium at Guelph, Ontario, and is currently safe in Detroit, Michigan. However, Arthur Heurtley will not help him, even after Huck shared how letters were stolen and that the sanitarium’s attendants were anarchists who harmed Marshall Field’s heirs. He sends a paper slip and does not think the American consul reported on it. Huck asks Roosevelt for help with the Field estate and to be admitted to a sanitarium, not an asylum. He would have reported the mail theft to Governor General of Canada Albert Henry George Grey but did not have the money or protection to get to Ottawa, Ontario.
