Letter from Emma Wasson to Theodore Roosevelt

Emma Wasson asks Theodore Roosevelt to speak a word to someone he knows with enough wealth to easily provide herself and her husband, Levi C. Wasson, with financial help. After a career as a successful dentist, her husband lost everything and became paralyzed. Wasson now cares for her husband and hopes someone like Andrew Carnegie might give them enough money to start over.
