Letter from Eliza A. Lawton to Theodore Roosevelt

Eliza A. Lawton requests Theodore Roosevelt’s assistance in remedying an error made on her father’s memorial that excludes her from his list of daughters. Roosevelt approved the volley of shots fired at General Robert Anderson’s memorial services at West Point, so Lawton hopes he will be of assistance in changing the inscription when all other options have failed her.
