Letter from Della L. Peltzel to Theodore Roosevelt
Della L. Peltzel was a widow and received a pension. She remarried Frank E. Peltzel, whom she thought was honorable, but he spent her savings in “drunken debauchery” and left her. Peltzel is in poor health and has no one to care for her. Not wanting to go to a poor house, she asks Theodore Roosevelt for help getting her pension back.
