Letter from John E. Lyall to Theodore Roosevelt

John E. Lyall vehemently condemns the message he received in response to his previous letter, explaining that he expected better from Theodore Roosevelt and his secretary. He compares a lack of interest and care in his case—in which he was swindled by a company that advertised in The Outlook some years prior to Roosevelt’s tenure at the magazine—to the federal government giving up on its citizens with a simple statement of “I am very sorry.”
