Letter from Luke F. Parsons to Theodore Roosevelt
Luke F. Parsons passes along a plea for assistance to Theodore Roosevelt from Lizzie Leeman Brandt. Brandt is the sister of William H. Leeman–one of the men who died at Harpers Landing with John Brown, prior to the Civil War–and has no way to support herself in her old age. A recent speech that Roosevelt delivered gave her hope that he may be able to provide her with assistance.
