Letter from E. McIntyre to Theodore Roosevelt
After reading Theodore Roosevelt’s April 22nd article in The Outlook, E. McIntyre provides him with additional information about tenement house conditions. Anne Harriman Vanderbilt and other philanthropists are trying to build redesigned buildings that are healthier. However, local tenement house departments are preventing them from being built due to the lack of an air shaft. McIntyre says that he knew Roosevelt’s parents.
