Letter from Noah A. Travis to Theodore Roosevelt
Noah A. Travis tells Theodore Roosevelt he may have seen a photograph of Travis’ family, consisting of ten children, in the news. Travis discusses his family’s difficult financial situation on their small farm and asks if Roosevelt could ask his “wealthy friends” to help Travis discretely so that he can best provide for his children and their education.
