Letter from James B. Milam to Theodore Roosevelt
Due to a severe drought in Austin, Texas, James B. Milam has suffered a pay cut as a Baptist missionary and is struggling to provide for his family. Milam has written to the “rich men” in New York asking for money, but has either been rejected or ignored. He wonders if Theodore Roosevelt will send $500 to help the Milam family.
